Summary
ARHGAP21 (Rho GTPase activating protein 21, HGNC:23725) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10p12.1, encoding Rho GTPase-activating protein 21 (Q5T5U3). Functions as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for RHOA and CDC42.
ARHGAP21 functions preferentially as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for CDC42 (MIM 116952) and regulates the ARP2/3 complex (MIM 604221) and F-actin dynamics at the Golgi through control of CDC42 activity (Dubois et al., 2005 [PubMed 15793564]).
