RAPGEF2 Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2

Gene ID: 9693, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: RAGEF; RA-GEF; NRAPGEP; PDZGEF1; Rap-GEP; CNrasGEF; PDZ-GEF1; RA-GEF-1; nRap GEP

Summary

Members of the RAS (see HRAS; MIM 190020) subfamily of GTPases function in signal transduction as GTP/GDP-regulated switches that cycle between inactive GDP- and active GTP-bound states. Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), such as RAPGEF2, serve as RAS activators by promoting acquisition of GTP to maintain the active GTP-bound state and are the key link between cell surface receptors and RAS activation (Rebhun et al., 2000 [PubMed 10934204]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
