Full name: Rho family GTPase 3

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: ARHE; Rho8; RhoE; memB

Summary: This gene encodes a protein which is a member of the small GTPase protein superfamily. The encoded protein binds only GTP but has no GTPase activity, and appears to act as a negative regulator of cytoskeletal organization leading to loss of adhesion. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
