RhoGAPs contain a RhoGAP domain. RhoGAP7 activates the small GTPases RHOA, RHOB, RHOC and CDC42. Relevance RhoGAPs are present in altered abundance in a variety of human cancers and may serve as targets for cancer therapy[3]. Structural highlights The contains a and GDP[4]. Water molecules are shown as red spheres. . 3D structures of Rho GTPase activating protein Rho GTPase activating protein 3D structures
