Function

GAPVD1 is Rab GTPase guanine nucleotide exchange factor essential for activation of RAB5A during engulfment of apoptotic cells.[7] GAPVD1 is also involved in the degradation of the epidermal growth factor receptor.[8] Gapex-5 mediated activation of Rab5 has been implicated in the insulin stimulated formation of plasma membrane phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate.[9]

Structure

Based on sequence homology, mammalian Gapex-5 has been shown to have an amino-terminal Ras GAP domain, a central polyproline (SH3 binding) region and a carboxy-terminal Rab GEF domain. The RabGEF domain has been suggested to activate Rab5[10] and Rab31.[11]
