products description :
RAP binds with high affinity to certain members of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor family such as LDL receptor-related protein (LRP), gp330/megalin, and the very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) receptor and, once bound to these receptors, antagonizes their ligand binding ability. Despite the presence of a putative signal sequence on RAP, this molecule is not secreted but remains cell-associated. RAP is contained primarily within the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi compartments, with only a trace found at the cell surface and within the endosomal compartments. Genetic deletion of RAP in mice has no effect on LRP mRNA levels but does lead to incomplete processing of LRP in the brain and liver resulting in decreased LRP antigen levels in these organs.

ncbi summary :
binds cAMP and activates the Ras superfamily guanine nucleotide binding protein (Rap1A)in a PKA-independent manner [RGD, Feb 2006]
uniprot summary :
Epac1: Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RAP1A and RAP2A small GTPases that is activated by binding cAMP. Widely expressed with highest levels in adult kidney, heart, thyroid and brain, and fetal kidney. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: GEFs; GEFs, misc. Cellular Component: membrane; cytoplasm; cAMP-dependent protein kinase complex. Molecular Function: Rap guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity; guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity; cAMP-dependent protein kinase regulator activity; cAMP binding. Biological Process: positive regulation of syncytium formation by plasma membrane fusion; positive regulation of protein export from nucleus; positive regulation of angiogenesis; positive regulation of stress fiber formation; angiogenesis; regulation of protein kinase activity; positive regulation of peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; Rap protein signal transduction; positive regulation of GTPase activity
