Structural highlights

Disease

[ARHGC_HUMAN] Note=A chromosomal aberration involving ARHGEF12 may be a cause of acute leukemia. Translocation t(11;11)(q23;23) with MLL.

Function

[ARHGC_HUMAN] May play a role in the regulation of RhoA GTPase by guanine nucleotide-binding alpha-12 (GNA12) and alpha-13 (GNA13). Acts as guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RhoA GTPase and may act as GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for GNA12 and GNA13.^[1] [PLXB1_HUMAN] Receptor for SEMA4D. Plays a role in RHOA activation and subsequent changes of the actin cytoskeleton. Plays a role in axon guidance, invasive growth and cell migration.^{[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]}
