Facts about Rho GTPase-activating protein 7.
Functions as a GTPase-activating protein for the small GTPases RHOA, RHOB, RHOC and CDC42, terminating their downstream signaling.
This induces morphological changes and detachment through cytoskeletal reorganization, playing a crucial role in biological processes such as cell migration and proliferation.Also functions in vivo as an activator of the phospholipase PLCD1. Active DLC1 increases cell migration velocity but reduces directionality.
