RACGAP1 is a Rho-GTPase-activating protein originally discovered in male germ cells to inactivate Rac, RhoA and Cdc42 from the GTP-bound form GDP-bound form. GAP has traditionally been known as tumor suppressor. However, studies increasingly suggest that overexpressed activates Rac multiple cancers mediate downstream oncogene overexpression by assisting nuclear translocation of signaling molecules promote cytokinesis regulating cytoskeleton or serving component central spindle. Contradictorily, it was also reported gastric cancer could RhoA. In addition, have revealed can be biomarker for prognosis, its role reducing doxorubicin sensitivity poses difficulties treatment, while current drug targets mainly focus on molecule. This article reviews expression regulation cancer-promoting functions through mediation Rho-GTPase activation.
