RHOU

Gene
Rhou
Protein
Rho-related GTP-binding protein RhoU
Organism
Mus musculus
Length
261 amino acids
Function
Acts upstream of PAK1 to regulate the actin cytoskeleton, adhesion turnover and increase cell migration. Stimulates quiescent cells to reenter the cell cycle. Has no detectable GTPase activity but its high intrinsic guanine nucleotide exchange activity suggests it is constitutively GTP-bound. Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization. Required in the control of cell shape (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rho family.
