The cytohesin and centaurin protein families are potential targets for PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 that also regulate and interact with Arf GTPases.

Cytohesin-1 (B2-1) found at high levels in natural killer and cytotoxic T-cells and at very low levels in monocytes and several cultured cell lines.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the PSCD family. Members of this family have identical structural organization that consists of an N-terminal coiled-coil motif, a central Sec7 domain, and a C-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain. The coiled-coil motif is involved in homodimerization, the Sec7 domain contains guanine-nucleotide exchange protein activity, and the PH domain interacts with phospholipids and is responsible for association of PSCDs with membranes.
Cytohesin-1 can activate ARF6
