UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q5VT25 (Q5VT25)
Gene Name:
CDC42BPA
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Serine/threonine-protein kinase which is an important downstream effector of CDC42 and plays a role in the regulation of cytoskeleton reorganization and cell migration (PubMed:15723050, PubMed:9092543, PubMed:9418861). Regulates actin cytoskeletal reorganization via phosphorylation of PPP1R12C and MYL9/MLC2 (PubMed:21457715). In concert with MYO18A and LURAP1, is involved in modulating lamellar actomyosin retrograde flow that is crucial to cell protrusion and migration (PubMed:18854160). Phosphorylates: PPP1R12A, LIMK1 and LIMK2 (PubMed:11340065, PubMed:11399775). May play a role in TFRC-mediated iron uptake (PubMed:20188707). In concert with FAM89B/LRAP25 mediates the targeting of LIMK1 to the lamellipodium resulting in its activation and subsequent phosphorylation of CFL1 which is important for lamellipodial F-actin regulation (By similarity). Triggers the formation of an extrusion apical actin ring required for epithelial extrusion of apoptotic cells (PubMed:29162624)
