Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RHOA and RAC1 GTPases (PubMed:22155786, PubMed:27418539, PubMed:8643598). Involved in coordinating actin remodeling, which is necessary for cell migration and growth (PubMed:10341202, PubMed:22155786). Plays a key role in the regulation of neurite outgrowth and lamellipodia formation (PubMed:32109419). In developing hippocampal neurons, limits dendrite formation, without affecting the establishment of axon polarity. Once dendrites are formed, involved in the control of synaptic function by regulating the endocytosis of AMPA-selective glutamate receptors (AMPARs) at CA1 excitatory synapses (By similarity). May act as a regulator of adipogenesis (By similarity).
