Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ARHGEF12 gene .[5] [6] [7]
Function Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 12 is guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for the RhoA small GTPase protein. [5] small GTPase protein that is inactive when bound to the guanine nucleotide GDP . But when acted on by Rho GEF proteins such as RhoGEF1, this GDP is released and replaced by GTP , leading to the active state of Rho. In this active, GTP-bound conformation, Rho can bind to and activate specific effector proteins and enzymes to regulate cellular functions.[8] actin cytoskeleton .[8]
RhoGEF12 is a member of a group of four RhoGEF proteins known to be activated by G protein coupled receptors coupled to the G12 and G13 heterotrimeric G proteins .[9] ARHGEF1 (also known as p115-RhoGEF), ARHGEF11 (also known as PDZ-RhoGEF) and AKAP13 (also known as ARHGEF13 and Lbc). [10] [11] 12 and G13 G proteins. In addition to being activated by G12 or G13 G proteins, three of these four RhoGEF proteins (ARHGEF1/11/12) also function as RGS family GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) to increase the rate of GTP hydrolysis of G12 /G13 alpha proteins (which are themselves GTPase proteins). This action increases the rate of G protein deactivation, limiting the time during which these RhoGEFs activate Rho.[12]
Clinical significance This protein is observed to form myeloid/lymphoid fusion partner in acute myeloid leukemia .[7]
