Ral GDS (Ral guanine nucleotide dissociation stimulator) is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that activates Ral and is implicated in oncogenic Ras-induced cell transformation. RGL4 (ral guanine nucleotide dissociation stimulator-like 4), also known as Rgr, is a 473 amino acid protein that localizes to the cytoplasmic vesicle of cells. Belonging to the GEF family of proteins, RGL4 induces phosphorylation of ERKs, p38 and JNK kinases, and it increases the levels of GTP bound forms of Ral and Ras. Ras activation is crucial for the transforming activity of RGL4. Due to its similarity to Ral GDS, RGL4 may be implicated in carcinogenesis.1) Hernandez-Munoz, I., et al.
