Organism

Homo sapiens (Human)

Taxonomic identifier

9606 [NCBI]

Taxonomic lineage

Eukaryota › Metazoa › Chordata › Craniata › Vertebrata › Euteleostomi › Mammalia › Eutheria › Euarchontoglires › Primates › Haplorrhini › Catarrhini › Hominidae › Homo

Protein attributes

Sequence length	217 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Binds and exchanges GTP and GDP By similarity.
Subunit structure	Interacts with MLLT4, the C-terminal domain of RALGDS and RLF, but not with RIN1 and PIK3CA. RLF binds exclusively to the active GTP-bound form By similarity. Binds calmodulin.
Subcellular location	Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity	Neuron-specific.
Miscellaneous	Shows rapid uncatalyzed guanine nucleotide dissociation rates, which are much faster than those of most Ras subfamily members By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Ras family.
