IQGAP proteins IQGAP1, IQGAP2 and IQGAP3, bind Rho GTPases RAC1 and CDC42 via the RAS GTPase-activating protein-related domain (GRD) of IQGAPs. Although the GRDs are homologous to the RAS-specific GAP (GTPase activating protein) domains, they do not possess GAP activity. Instead, they increase the amount of activated CDC42 and RAC1 in the cell by stabilizing them in the GTP-bound state (Kuroda et al. 1996, Swart-Mataraza et al. 2002, Wang et al. 2007, Pelikan-Conchaudron et al. 2011).
