Arhgef2

Enables guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity and microtubule binding activity. Involved in several processes, including asymmetric neuroblast division; establishment of mitotic spindle orientation; and positive regulation of neuron migration. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including actin filament organization; negative regulation of podosome assembly; and regulation of Rho protein signal transduction. Located in several cellular components, including dendritic shaft; podosome; and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; dorsal root ganglion; liver; and testis. Used to study neurodevelopmental disorder with midbrain and hindbrain malformations. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in neurodevelopmental disorder with midbrain and hindbrain malformations. Orthologous to human ARHGEF2 (Rho/Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2).

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 Arhgef2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
