Background InformationRhoGAP1, also known as Rho GTPase-activating protein 1, CDC42 GTPase-activating protein, Rho-related small GTPase protein activator, Rho-type GTPase-activating protein 1, or p50-RhoGAP, and encoded by the gene ARHGAP1/CDC42GAP/RHOGAP1, is an important GTPase activator for the Rho, Rac, and CDC42 GTP binding proteins, converting them to the putatively inactive GDP-bound state. CDC42 is the preferred substrate for RhoGAP1. Such GTPase-activating proteins or GAPs play an important role in signal transduction pathways regulated by GTP-binding proteins. In addition to acting as down-regulators of GTPases, there is growing evidence that they also act as effector molecules required for downstream signaling. RhoGAP1 is found in multiprotein complexes in the cytoplasm in most cells. Recent research has shown RhoGAP1 to be particularly important during epithelial to mesenchymal morphogenesis and for carcinoma metastasis. Rho-ROCK signaling is essential for cell apical detachment and the generation of motility. RhoGAP1 restricts Rho activation to apical areas and thus helps guide the detachment process and thus is a target of much developmental and cancer research.
