Anti-GDS1

The smg GDP dissociation stimulator (smgGDS) protein is a stimulatory GDP/GTP exchange protein with GTPase activity (Riess et al., 1993 [PubMed 8262526]).[supplied by OMIM, Feb 2010], Protein function: Acts as a GEF (guanine nucleotide exchange factor) for the Rho family of small GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) that stimulates the dissociation of GDP to enable subsequent binding of GTP (PubMed:28630045, PubMed:30190425, PubMed:1549351, PubMed:11948427, PubMed:20709748). Additionally, appears to chaperone the processing and/or trafficking of small GTPases containing a C-terminal polybasic region independently of GEF activity (PubMed:20709748, PubMed:21242305). Targets include RAP1A/RAP1B, RHOA, RHOB, RHOC, RAC1 and KRAS (PubMed:1549351, PubMed:11948427, PubMed:20709748, PubMed:24415755). Regulates mitochondrial dynamics by controlling RHOT function to promote mitochondrial fission during high calcium conditions (PubMed:27716788). Able to promote the Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum via both inositol trisphosphate (Ins3P) and ryanodine sensitive receptors leading to a enhanced mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake (PubMed:24349085).
