Function | GTPase-activating protein (GAP) that stimulates the GTPase activity of Rho-type GTPases. Thereby, controls Rho-type GTPases cycling between their active GTP-bound and inactive GDP-bound states. Acts as a GAP at least for CDC42 and RAC1 (PubMed:11431473). In neurons, is involved in dendritic spine formation and synaptic plasticity in a specific RAC1-GAP activity (By similarity). Limits the initiation of exploratory dendritic filopodia. Recruited to actin- patches that seed filopodia, binds specifically to plasma membrane sections that are deformed inward by acto-myosin mediated contractile forces. Acts through GAP activity on RAC1 to reduce actin polymerization necessary for filopodia formation (By similarity). In association with SHANK3, promotes GRIA1 exocytosis from recycling endosomes and spine morphological changes associated to long-term potentiation (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell projection, dendritic spine {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5SSM3}. Recycling endosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5SSM3}. Presynapse {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5SSM3}. Cell projection, dendrite {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:F1LQX4}. Note=In CA1 hippocampal synapses, detected at both presynaptic and postsynaptic sites (By similarity) Located in convoluted dendritic plasma membrane sections enriched in polymerized actin and myosin (patches) along dendrites where often emerge filopodia (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:F1LQX4, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5SSM3} |
Tissue Location | Highly expressed in brain. Expressed at weak level in other tissues. |

Background
GTPase activator for the Rho-type GTPases by converting them to an inactive GDP-bound state. Acts as a GTPase activitor in vitro for CDC42 and RAC1.
