RASGRF2 - Ras protein specific guanine nucleotide releasing factor 2 Gene
Also Known as GRF2; RAS-GRF2
Species: Homo sapiens
About RASGRF2
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 275 orthologues and 24 paralogues. Broad expression in brain (RPKM 9.6), ovary (RPKM 7.2) and 18 other tissues.
Summary
Ras GTPases cycle between an inactive GDP-bound state and an active GTP-bound state. This gene encodes a calcium-regulated nucleotide exchange factor activating both Ras and RAS-related protein, RAC1, through the exchange of bound GDP for GTP, thereby, coordinating the signaling of distinct mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways.
