Summary
Predicted to enable GTP binding activity; GTPase activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell migration involved in gastrulation; myoblast fusion; and neutrophil chemotaxis. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including cell cortex; cytoplasmic vesicle; and dendritic spine. Is expressed in liver; retina; and retinal ganglion cell layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant mental retardation 48; colon adenocarcinoma; and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human RAC1 (Rac family small GTPase 1).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
