Human Rac GTPase-activating protein 1 GAP domain (grey) complex with CDC42 (green) and GDP (PDB code 5c2j) Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image Function Rac GTPase-activating protein 1 (RacGAP1) is required for the attachment of the midbody to the cell membrane during cytokinesis. It is involved in the regulation of growth-related processes in adipocytes and myoblasts. Relevance RacGAP1 expression is a prognostic marker for HBV-positive human hepatocellular carcinoma and can be a potential molecular target for therapeutic strategies against this carcinoma[1].
