ARHGEF3

Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) 3, also known as ARHGEF3, is a human gene.[1]

Function

Function

Rho GTPases play a fundamental role in numerous cellular processes that are initiated by extracellular stimuli that work through G protein-coupled receptors. The encoded protein may form complex with G proteins and stimulate Rho-dependent signals. This protein is similar to the NET1A protein.[1]

Interactions

Interactions

ARHGEF3 has been shown to interact with RHOA[2] and RHOB.[2]
