Term Detail
GO term:guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity
Synonym: GDP-dissociation stimulator activity
Synonym: GDS
Synonym: GEF
Synonym: GNRP
Synonym: guanyl-nucleotide release factor activity
Synonym: guanyl-nucleotide releasing factor
GO id:GO:0005085
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.
