description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis; myeloid dendritic cell chemotaxis; and positive regulation of podosome assembly. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in cerebral cortex. Orthologous to human ARHGEF5 (Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased Th2 response in an ovalbumin-induced asthma model.
