RAC2 - Rac family small GTPase 2 Gene
Also Known as Gx; EN-7; IMD73A; IMD73B; IMD73C; HSPC022; p21-Rac2
Species: Homo sapiens
About RAC2
This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 235 orthologues, 22 paralogues and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Biased expression in lymph node (RPKM 157.7), bone marrow (RPKM 130.6) and 9 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the Ras superfamily of small guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-metabolizing proteins. The encoded protein localizes to the plasma membrane, where it regulates diverse processes, such as secretion, phagocytosis, and cell polarization. Activity of this protein is also involved in the generation of Reactive Oxygen Species. Mutations in this gene are associated with neutrophil immunodeficiency syndrome. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
