Facts about Rac GTPase-activating protein 1.
Plays key roles in controlling cell growth and differentiation of hematopoietic cells through mechanisms aside from regulating Rac GTPase activity. Also included in the regulation of growth-related procedures in adipocytes and myoblasts.

Highly expressed in testis, thymus and spleen and weakly expressed in brain, heart, skeletal muscle and kidney. In testis, expression is restricted to germ cells with the highest levels of expression found in spermatocytes. Not detected in adult liver. Also expressed in fetal liver and in several hematopoietic cell lines.
