Function | Filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase. May play a role in platelet secretion. Seems to participate in the process of SNARE complex formation in synaptic vesicles. Isoform 4: Stabilizes BACE1 protein levels and promotes the sorting and accumulation of BACE1 to the recycling or endosomal compartments, modulating the beta-amyloidogenic processing of APP. |
