Facts about FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain-containing protein 5.
Activates CDC42, a member of the Ras-like family of Rho- and Rac proteins, by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP.
Mediates VEGF-induced CDC42 activation.May regulate proangiogenic action of VEGF in vascular endothelial cells, including network formation, directional movement and proliferation. May play a role in regulating the actin cytoskeleton and cell shape.

Expressed in endothelial cells (at protein level).
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell projection, ruffle membrane. Endoplasmic reticulum. Golgi apparatus. Early endosome. In peripheral membrane ruffles, colocolizes with F-actin. In confluent HUVECs, detected at cell-cell-contact sites where it colocalizes with vascular endothelial cadherin/CDH5.
