GTP binding mitogen induced T cell protein, GTP binding protein expressed in mitogen stimulated T cells, GTP binding protein GEM, GTP binding protein overexpressed in skeletal muscle, Kinase inducible Ras like protein, KIR, MGC26294, RAS like protein KIR
Gem belongs to the Rad/Gem/Kir (RGK) subfamily of Ras-related GTPases, which lack typical C-terminal amino acid motifs for isoprenylation. Rad and Gem bind calmodulin in a Ca2+-dependent manner via this C-terminal extension, involving residues 278297 in
