Human Gene ARF4 (ENST00000303436.11) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens ADP ribosylation factor 4 (ARF4), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_001660)
RefSeq Summary (NM_001660): This gene is a member of the human ARF gene family whose members encode small guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that stimulate the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of cholera toxin and play a role in vesicular trafficking and as activators of phospholipase D. The gene products include 5 ARF proteins and 11 ARF-like proteins and constitute one family of the RAS superfamily. The ARF proteins are categorized as class I, class II and class III; this gene is a class II member. The members of each class share a common gene organization. The ARF4 gene spans approximately 12kb and contains six exons and five introns. This gene is the most divergent member of the human ARFs. Conflicting map positions at 3p14 or 3p21 have been reported for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

INTERACTION: Q96PM5:RCHY1; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-1237085, EBI-947779;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Golgi apparatus.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Arf family.
CAUTION: Was originally thought to be ARF2.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
