== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: N/A
* **UniProt Summary**: Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), which can activate some, but not all, G-alpha proteins by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. Able to potentiate G(olf)-alpha-dependent cAMP accumulation suggesting that it may be an important component for odorant signal transduction. {ECO:0000250}.
