Vav2

This gene encodes a member of the Vav family of Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors. Vav family proteins are involved in the development and activation of lymphocytes, and the encoded protein may also be involved in angiogenesis. Disruption of this gene in mice is associated with heart, artery, and kidney defects, as well as tachycardia and hypertension. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Vav2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
