Functions as a calcium- and DAG-regulated nucleotide exchange factor specifically activating Rap through the exchange of bound GDP for GTP. May also activate other GTPases such as RRAS, RRAS2, NRAS, KRAS but not HRAS. Functions in aggregation of platelets and adhesion of T-lymphocytes and neutrophils probably through inside-out integrin activation. May function in the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M1/CHRM1 signaling pathway.
Subcellular locations: Cytoplasm, Cytosol, Cell membrane, Synapse, Synaptosome, Cell projection, Ruffle membrane
Found both in the cytosol and associated with membranes. Isoform 2 mainly localizes to the cell membrane. Enriched at juxtamembrane areas and membrane ruffles through association with F-actin. Localizes to the cell bodies and axons of striatal neurons (By similarity).
Detected in platelets, neutrophils and T lymphocytes (at protein level). Expressed in brain where it is enriched in the striatum. Also expressed in the hematopoietic system. Detected in heart, brain, lung, placenta, liver, skeletal muscle and kidney.
