Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) which plays a role in the activation of Rho GTPases RAC1, RhoA and CDC42. Can regulate cell morphology in cooperation with activated RAC1. Plays a role in Th2 (T helper cells) development and/or activation, perhaps by interfering with ZAP70 signaling (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12651066, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15023524}.
