Gene:
diaphanous homolog 3 (Drosophila)
Gene ID:
198051
Symbol:
DIAPH3
Species:
1000
Description:
Binds to GTP-bound form of Rho and to profilin. Acts in a Rho-dependent manner to recruit profilin to the membrane, where it promotes actin polymerization. It is required for cytokinesis, stress fiber formation, and transcriptional activation of the serum response factor. DFR proteins couple Rho and Src tyrosine kinase during signaling and the regulation of actin dynamics (By similarity).
