Gene information for RASA3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID22821
Official gene symbolRASA3
Full nameRAS p21 protein activator 3
Aliases,GAP1IP4BP,GAPIII,MGC46517,MGC47588,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is member of the GAP1 family of GTPase-activating proteins. The gene product stimulates the GTPase activity of normal RAS p21 but not its oncogenic counterpart. Acting as a suppressor of RAS function, the protein enhances the weak intrinsic GTPase activity of RAS proteins resulting in the inactive GDP-bound form of RAS, thereby allowing control of cellular proliferation and differentiation. This family member is an inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate-binding protein, like the closely related RAS p21 protein activator 2. The two family members have distinct pleckstrin-homology domains, with this particular member having a domain consistent with its localization to the plasma membrane. [provided by RefSeq]
