ARHGAP25 explained

Rho GTPase activating protein 25 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ARHGAP25 gene.^[1] The gene is also known as KAIA0053.^[1] ARHGAP25 belongs to a family of Rho GTPase-modulating proteins that are implicated in actin remodeling, cell polarity, and cell migration.^[2]
