Summary
Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
|
This gene encodes a member of the Rho family of GTPases. This protein can activate PAK1 and JNK1, and can induce filopodium formation and stress fiber dissolution. It may also mediate the effects of WNT1 signaling in the regulation of cell morphology, cyt |

Protein name |
Rho-related GTP-binding protein RhoU (CDC42-like GTPase 1) (GTP-binding protein-like 1) (Rho GTPase-like protein ARHU) (Ryu GTPase) (Wnt-1 responsive Cdc42 homolog 1) (WRCH-1) |
Protein function |
Binds to and activates protein kinase PAK1 (PubMed:11459829). Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology, cytoskeletal organization and focal adhesion assembly during cell migration (PubMed:11459829, PubMed:17620058, PubMed:18086875, PubM |
