CDC42EP2 - CDC42 effector protein 2 Gene

Also Known as CEP2; BORG1

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 10435

Summary

CDC42, a small Rho GTPase, regulates the formation of F-actin-containing structures through its interaction with the downstream effector proteins. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Borg family of CDC42 effector proteins. Borg family proteins contain a CRIB (Cdc42/Rac interactive-binding) domain. They bind to, and negatively regulate the function of CDC42. Coexpression of this protein with CDC42 suggested a role of this protein in Actin filament assembly and cell shape control.

Ubiquitous expression in fat (RPKM 13.9), gall bladder (RPKM 10.2) and 23 other tissues.
