Function

Filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase (By similarity). May play a role in cytokinesis (Potential). May play a role in platelet secretion. Isoform ARTS, but not the other isoforms, is required for the induction of cell death mediated by TGF-beta and by other apoptotic stimuli. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269PubMed:11146656, ECO:0000269PubMed:15029247, ECO:0000269PubMed:15116257, ECO:0000269PubMed:15837787, ECO:0000269PubMed:9889007, ECO:0000305}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}. Note=In platelets, found in areas surrounding alpha-granules. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11146656, ECO:0000269PubMed:15029247, ECO:0000269PubMed:15116257}.Isoform ARTS: Mitochondrion. Nucleus. Note=While predominantly localized in the mitochondria under resting conditions, isoform ARTS translocates into the nucleus after TGF-beta treatment and apoptosis induction.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed in adult and fetal tissues with highest expression in adult brain (at protein level), heart, liver and adrenal gland and fetal heart, kidney, liver and lung. Also expressed in colorectal cancers and malignant melanomas. Expressed in platelets. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11146656, ECO:0000269PubMed:11167005, ECO:0000269PubMed:11511094, ECO:0000269PubMed:15116257, ECO:0000269PubMed:15915442, ECO:0000269PubMed:9889007}.
