About DOCK2

Cytogenetic location: 5q35.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:169,637,275-170,083,382 (from NCBI)

This gene has 18 transcripts (splice variants), 235 orthologues, 10 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Broad expression in lymph node (RPKM 13.3), bone marrow (RPKM 11.2) and 15 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the CDM protein family. It is specifically expressed in hematopoietic cells and is predominantly expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes. The protein is involved in remodeling of the actin Cytoskeleton required for lymphocyte migration in response to chemokine signaling. It activates members of the Rho family of GTPases, for example RAC1 and RAC2, by acting as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) to exchange bound GDP for free GTP. Mutations in this gene result in immunodeficiency 40 (IMD40), a combined form of immunodeficiency that affects T cell number and function, also with variable defects in B cell and NK cell function.
