Term Information

Accession
GO:0005085
Name
guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity
Ontology
molecular_function
Synonyms
GDP-dissociation stimulator activity, GDS, GEF, guanyl-nucleotide release factor activity, guanyl-nucleotide releasing factor, GNRP
Alternate IDs
GO:0019839, GO:0016219, GO:0008433
Definition
Stimulates the exchange of guanyl nucleotides associated with a GTPase. Under normal cellular physiological conditions, the concentration of GTP is higher than that of GDP, favoring the replacement of GDP by GTP in association with the GTPase. Source: GOC:mah, GOC:kd
Comment
Note that guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity alters binding affinity, but not GTPase catalytic activity directly. Therefore GO:0005085 is under 'regulation of GTPase activity' but is not a 'GTPase regulator', which is reserved for cases where the action of one gene product directly alters the rate of catalysis by another gene product.
