PREX1 - phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate dependent Rac exchange factor 1 Gene
Also Known as P-REX1
Species: Homo sapiens
About PREX1
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Broad expression in spleen (RPKM 30.0), brain (RPKM 23.2) and 23 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene acts as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the RHO family of small GTP-binding proteins (RACs). It has been shown to bind to and activate RAC1 by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. The encoded protein, which is found mainly in the cytoplasm, is activated by phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate and the beta-gamma subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins.
