ARHGEF5 (Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 5) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Breast cancer. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Guanine nucleotide exchange factor which activates Rho GTPases. Strongly activates RHOA. Also strongly activates RHOB, weakly activates RHOC and RHOG and shows no effect on RHOD, RHOV, RHOQ or RAC1. Involved in regulation of cell shape and actin cytoskeletal organisation. Plays a role in actin organisation by generating a loss of actin stress fibres and the formation of membrane ruffles and filopodia. Required for SRC-induced podosome formation. Location: Cytoplasm; Nucleus; Cell projection, podosome (UniProt). Locus 7q35 (HGNC).
