Protein annotations

Protein functions:

1: Binds to and activates protein kinase PAK1 (PubMed:11459829). Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology, cytoskeletal organization and focal adhesion assembly during cell migration (PubMed:11459829, PubMed:17620058, PubMed:18086875, PubMed:21834987). Also stimulates quiescent cells to reenter the cell cycle (PubMed:11459829). Has no detectable GTPase activity but its high intrinsic guanine nucleotide exchange activity suggests it is constitutively GTP-bound (PubMed:16472646)
