Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Specific GEF for RhoA activation. Does not activate RAC1 or CDC42. Regulates vascular smooth muscle contractility. Negatively regulates excitatory synapse development by suppressing the synapse-promoting activity of EPHB2. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12775584}.

Subcellular Localization

Cell projection, dendrite {ECO:0000250}. Note=Expressed exclusively in dendrites of the developing hippocampus. {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in the vascular smooth muscle of coronary artery. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12775584}.
