RhoGAP_KIAA1688: GTPase-activator protein (GAP) domain for Rho-like GTPases found in KIAA1688-like proteins; KIAA1688 is a protein of unknown function that contains a RhoGAP domain and a myosin tail homology 4 (MyTH4) domain. Small GTPases cluster into distinct families, and all act as molecular switches, active in their GTP-bound form but inactive when GDP-bound. The Rho family of GTPases activates effectors involved in a wide variety of developmental processes, including regulation of cytoskeleton formation, cell proliferation and the JNK signaling pathway. GTPases generally have a low intrinsic GTPase hydrolytic activity but there are family-specific groups of GAPs that enhance the rate of GTP hydrolysis by several orders of magnitude.
