Src homology 3 domain of ArfGAP with SH3 domain, ankyrin repeat and PH domain containing protein 1 ASAP1 is also called DDEF1 (Development and Differentiation Enhancing Factor 1), AMAP1, centaurin beta-4, or PAG2. an Arf GTPase activating protein (GAP) with activity towards Arf1 and Arf5 but not Arf6. However, it has been shown to bind GTP-Arf6 stably without GAP activity. It has been implicated in cell growth, migration, and survival, as well as in tumor invasion and malignancy. It binds paxillin and cortactin, two components of invadopodia which are essential for tumor invasiveness. It also binds focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and the SH2/SH3 adaptor CrkL. ASAP1 contains an N-terminal BAR domain, followed by a Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, an Arf GAP domain, ankyrin (ANK) repeats, and a C-terminal SH3 domain. SH3 domains are protein interaction domains that bind to proline-rich ligands with moderate affinity and selectivity, preferentially to PxxP motifs. They play versatile and diverse roles in the cell including the regulation of enzymes, changing the subcellular localization of signaling pathway components, and mediating the formation of multiprotein complex assemblies.
