ARF6

Description

The ARF6 (ADP ribosylation factor 6) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 14.

ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6) is a member of the ADP ribosylation factor family of GTP-binding proteins. ARF6 has a variety of cellular functions that are frequently involved in trafficking of biological membranes and transmembrane protein cargo. ARF6 has specifically been implicated in endocytosis of plasma membrane proteins and also, to a lesser extent, plasma membrane protein recycling.

== Function == This gene encodes a member of the human ARF gene family, which is part of the Ras superfamily. The ARF genes 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 product of this gene is localized to the plasma membrane, and regulates vesicular trafficking, remodelling of membrane lipids, and signaling pathways that lead to actin remodeling. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 7. ARF6 can interact with βarrestin upon receptor activation.

== Interactions == ARF6 has been shown to interact with:

ARRB1 ARFIP2 CHRM3 EXOC5 KIAA0090 Rac1

GTP-binding protein involved in protein trafficking that regulates endocytic recycling and cytoskeleton remodeling (PubMed:11266366, PubMed:21170023, PubMed:16737952, PubMed:7589240, PubMed:18400762, PubMed:32103017). GTP-bound form plays an important role in the transport of multiple palmitoylated proteins form the Golgi to the plasma membrane (PubMed:37461827). Required for normal completion of mitotic cytokinesis (By similarity). Plays a role in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and the formation of stress fibers (By similarity). Involved in the regulation of dendritic spine development, contributing to the regulation of dendritic branching and filopodia extension (PubMed:14978216). Potentiates the neurite outgrowth in primary neurons by interacting with the molecular adapter APBB1 (PubMed:36250347). Plays an important role in membrane trafficking, during junctional remodeling and epithelial polarization (PubMed:36017701). Regulates surface levels of adherens junction proteins such as CDH1 (By similarity). Required for NTRK1 sorting to the recycling pathway from early endosomes (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P62331, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P62332, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11266366, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14978216, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16099990, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16737952, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18400762, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21170023, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32103017, ECO:0000269|PubMed:36017701, ECO:0000269|PubMed:36250347, ECO:0000269|PubMed:37461827, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7589240}
