Function

Rho GTPases play a fundamental role in numerous cellular processes that are initiated by extracellular stimuli that work through G protein-coupled receptors. The encoded protein may form complex with G proteins and stimulate Rho-dependent signals. This protein is similar to the NET1A protein.^[5]

Interactions

ARHGEF3 has been shown to interact with RHOA^[6] and RHOB.^[6]
