RhoGAP-ARHGAP11A: RhoGAP (GTPase-activator protein [GAP] for Rho-like small GTPases) domain of ArhGAP11A-like proteins. The mouse homolog of human ArhGAP11A has been detected as a gene exclusively expressed in immature ganglion cells, potentially playing a role in retinal development. The exact function of ArhGAP11A is unknown. Small GTPases cluster into distinct families, and all act as molecular switches, active in their GTP-bound form but inactive when GDP-bound. The Rho family of GTPases activates effectors involved in a wide variety of developmental processes, including regulation of cytoskeleton formation, cell proliferation and the JNK signaling pathway. GTPases generally have a low intrinsic GTPase hydrolytic activity but there are family-specific groups of GAPs that enhance the rate of GTP hydrolysis by several orders of magnitude.
