Vav2 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable epidermal growth factor receptor binding activity; guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity; and phosphotyrosine residue binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including immune response-regulating cell surface receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and small GTPase-mediated signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within lamellipodium assembly. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human VAV2 (vav guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

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 rat 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.
