Summary: Predicted to enable GTP binding activity; GTPase activity; and protein kinase regulator activity. Involved in actin cytoskeleton organization and bone resorption. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including actin filament; lamellipodium; and nuclear envelope. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 73a with defective neutrophil chemotaxis and leukocytosis; immunodeficiency 73b with defective neutrophil chemotaxis and lymphopenia; and immunodeficiency 73c with defective neutrophil chemotaxis and hypogammaglobulinemia. Orthologous to human RAC2 (Rac family small GTPase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

This study showed that CCL2, NF-kappaB1, RAC2, FCER1G and C1Q may contribute to the generation of neuropathic pain after sciatic nerve injury via immune and defense pathways.
Title: Gene expression profile changes in rat dorsal horn after sciatic nerve injury.
There is a functional interaction between AIF-1 and Rac2 in VSMC leading to Rac2 activation and a potential function for Rac2 in inflammation-driven VSMC response to injury.
Title: Cytokine expression and AIF-1-mediated activation of Rac2 in vascular smooth muscle cells: a role for Rac2 in VSMC activation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
