Summary: 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, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Our data provide the first evidence to implicate VAV2 in glucose-induced Rac1 activation, actin remodelling and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells.
Title: VAV2, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Rac1, regulates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells.
This study suggested that ephrinAs produced by astrocytes are involved in inhibition of Schwann cell migration and that this effect is mediated through EphA receptors on Schwann cells, leading to VAV2 signaling and interception of integrin function.
Title: Astrocyte-produced ephrins inhibit schwann cell migration via VAV2 signaling.
stretch-induced RhoA activation is dependent on transactivation of the EGFR and activation of the RhoGEF Vav2.
Title: Mechanical stretch-induced RhoA activation is mediated by the RhoGEF Vav2 in mesangial cells.
Vav2-mediated activation of NADPH oxidase is an important initiating mechanism resulting in hyperhomocysteinemic glomerular injury through enhanced local oxidative stress.

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.
