ACAP3 | aGTPase-activating protein (GAP) specific to small GTPase Arf6. ACAP3 is involved in neuronal migration in the developing cerebral cortex of mice, regulation mechanism, detailed overview. ACAP3 is abundantly expressed in the developing cerebral cortex. GAP activity of ACAP3 is required for neuronal migration. Knockdown of ACAP3 in the developing cortical neurons of mice in utero significantly abrogates neuronal migration in the cortical layer, which is restored by ectopic expression of wild-type ACAP3, but not by its GAP-inactive mutant | Mus musculus |

evolution | Arf6 is a member of the Arf family of small GTPases | Mus musculus |
metabolism | ACAP3, the GTPase-activating protein specific to the small GTPase Arf6, regulates neuronal migration in the developing cerebral cortex. ACAP3 is involved in neuronal migration in the developing cerebral cortex of mice. Knockdown of ACAP3 in the developing cortical neurons of mice in utero significantly abrogates neuronal migration in the cortical layer, which is restored by ectopic expression of wild-type ACAP3, but not by its GAP-inactive mutant | Mus musculus |
physiological function | Arf6 is a critical regulator of membrane dynamics-based cellular events such as reorganization of actin cytoskeleton and membrane trafficking. Like other small GTPases, Arf6 acts as a molecular switch by cycling between GDP-bound inactive and GTP-bound active forms in cellular signaling pathways. Arf6 is activated in response to agonist stimulation of the cell interacts with its downstream effectors to regulate their intracellular location and activity | Mus musculus |
