Predicted to enable guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in regulation of cell shape. Acts upstream of or within cytoskeleton organization. Located in Golgi apparatus; lamellipodium; and ruffle. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and limb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked Aarskog syndrome and non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability. Orthologous to human FGD1 (FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain containing 1).
