UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q96P48 (Q96P48)
Gene Name:
ARAP1
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent GTPase-activating protein that modulates actin cytoskeleton remodeling by regulating ARF and RHO family members (PubMed:11804590, PubMed:19666464). Activated by phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) binding and, to a lesser extent, by phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4)P2) binding (PubMed:11804590). Has a preference for ARF1 and ARF5 (PubMed:11804590, PubMed:19666464). Positively regulates the ring size of circular dorsal ruffles and promotes macropinocytosis (PubMed:22573888). Acts as a bridging factor in osteoclasts to control actin and membrane dynamics (By similarity). Regulates the condensing of osteoclast podosomes into sealing zones which segregate the bone-facing membrane from other membrane domains and are required for osteoclast resorption activity (By similarity). Also regulates recruitment of the AP-3 complex to endosomal membranes and trafficking of lysosomal membrane proteins to the ruffled membrane border of osteoclasts to modulate bone resorption (By similarity). Regulates the endocytic trafficking of EGFR (PubMed:18764928, PubMed:18939958, PubMed:21275903). Regulates the incorporation of CD63 and CD9 into multivesicular bodies (PubMed:38682696). Required in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) for photoreceptor survival due to its role in promoting RPE phagocytosis (By similarity)
