About RASGRF2

Cytogenetic location: 5q14.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:80,960,363-81,230,162 (from NCBI)

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.
