Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ARHGEF4 gene.^[5]^[6]

Function

Rho GTPases play a fundamental role in numerous cellular processes that are initiated by extracellular stimuli that work through G protein-coupled receptors. The encoded protein may form complex with G proteins and stimulate Rho-dependent signals. This protein is similar to rat collybistin protein. Alternative splicing of this gene generates two transcript variants that encode different isoforms. Also, there is possibility for the usage of multiple polyadenylation sites for this gene.^[6]

Interactions

ARHGEF4 has been shown to interact with APC.^[7]
