Rac family small GTPase 1

Gene Summary

Enables G protein activity; GTP binding activity; and GTP-dependent protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of protein localization; and regulation of cell migration. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including actin filament polymerization; generation of neurons; and regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Located in several cellular components, including kinocilium; pericentriolar material; and ruffle membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; synaptic membrane; and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; eye; genitourinary system; nervous system; and organ of Corti. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 48; colorectal cancer (multiple); lung cancer; and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human RAC1 (Rac family small GTPase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
