geneOn this page
Also known as cAMP-GEFIICGEF2
Summary
RAPGEF4 (Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor 4, HGNC:16626) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q31.1, encoding Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor 4 (Q8WZA2). Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RAP1A, RAP1B and RAP2A small GTPases that is activated by binding cAMP.
Enables guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Predicted to be involved in Ras protein signal transduction; regulation of neurotransmitter receptor localization to postsynaptic specialization membrane; and regulation of postsynapse organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within with a positive effect on hormone secretion. Predicted to act upstream of or within adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; regulation of exocytosis; and secretion by cell. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including glutamatergic synapse; hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse; and postsynaptic density. Implicated in autistic disorder.

Function. Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RAP1A, RAP1B and RAP2A small GTPases that is activated by binding cAMP. Does not seem to activate RAB3A. Involved in cAMP-dependent, PKA-independent exocytosis through interaction with RIMS2.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with RIMS1 and RIMS2. Probably part of a complex with RIMS2 and GTP-activated RAB3A.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Membrane.
Tissue specificity. Predominantly expressed in brain and adrenal gland. Isoform 2 is expressed in liver. Isoform 1 is expressed in liver at very low levels.
Domain organisation. The N-terminal nucleotide phosphate binding region cAMP 1 has a much lower affinity for cAMP as compared to cAMP 2. The DEP domain is involved in membrane localization independent from regulation by cAMP.
Miscellaneous. Produced by alternative promoter usage. Promoter analysis was carried out in mouse. Produced by alternative promoter usage. Promoter analysis was carried out in mouse. Produced by alternative splicing of isoform 1.
