Function
GTP-binding protein that recruits several effectors, such as golgins, arfaptins and Arf-GEFs to the trans-Golgi network, and modulates their functions at the Golgi complex. Plays thereby a role in a wide range of fundamental cellular processes, including cell polarity, innate immunity, or protein secretion mediated by arfaptins, which were shown to play a role in maintaining insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells.
Tissue Specificity
Detected in heart, liver, lung and liver (at protein level). Detected in fetal heart, lung, liver and kidney. Detected in adult heart, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas.
