Synonyms | CAPRI, GAPL, KIAA0538 |
Function | Ca(2+)-dependent Ras GTPase-activating protein, that switches off the Ras-MAPK pathway following a stimulus that elevates intracellular calcium. Functions as an adaptor for Cdc42 and Rac1 during FcR-mediated phagocytosis. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytosol. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note=Localized to the cytosol as a result of its lack of phosphoinositide binding activity. Upon agonist-stimulated calcium mobilization, utilizes the C2A and C2B domains to associate with the plasma membrane |
Tissue Location | Widely expressed.. |

Background
This gene encodes a member of the GAP1 family ofGTPase-activating proteins that suppresses theRas/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway in response to Ca(2+).Stimuli that increase intracellular Ca(2+) levels result in thetranslocation of this protein to the plasma membrane, where itactivates Ras GTPase activity. Consequently, Ras is converted fromthe active GTP-bound state to the inactive GDP-bound state and nolonger activates downstream pathways that regulate gene expression,cell growth, and differentiation. Multiple transcript variantsencoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
