Function | Guanine nucleotide exchange factor for ARF1 and ARF6 (PubMed:11226253, PubMed:24058294). Guanine nucleotide exchange factor activity is enhanced by lipid binding (PubMed:24058294). Accelerates GTP binding by ARFs of all three classes. Guanine nucleotide exchange protein for ARF6, mediating internalization of beta-1 integrin (PubMed:16461286). Involved in neuronal development (Probable). In neurons, plays a role in the control of vesicle formation by endocytoc cargo. Upon long term depression, interacts with GRIA2 and mediates the activation of ARF6 to internalize synaptic AMPAR receptors (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Postsynaptic density {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8R0S2}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, synaptic vesicle {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8R0S2}. Note=At steady state, may be preferentially cytosolic |
Tissue Location | Expressed in brain, ovary, heart, lung, liver, kidney and leukocytes. Moderate expression was also detected in lung, skeletal muscle, placenta, small intestine, pancreas, spleen and testis. |

Background
ADP ribosylation factors (Arfs) are small GTP-binding proteins known for their role in vesicular transport, where they nucleate the assembly of coat protein complexes at sites of carrier vesicle formation. IQSEC1 (GEP100/BRAG2), a guanine nucleotide exchange protein for ARF6, belongs to the BRAG family and contains one IQ domain, one PH domain and one SEC7 domain (1). As a known activator of ARF6, IQSEC1 regulates cell surface levels of Beta1 integrin and its knockdown blocked tumour metastasis (2,3). IQSEC1 links EGFR signaling to ARF6 activation and may contribute to the cancer metastasis and malignancy (4).
