Summary: Enables GTPase activity and protein kinase regulator activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of lamellipodium assembly; regulation of leukocyte chemotaxis; and regulation of mast cell degranulation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell projection assembly; erythrocyte enucleation; and positive regulation of mast cell proliferation. Located in cytoplasm; membrane; and nuclear envelope. Is expressed in heart; maxilla; palatal shelf; and secondary palate. Used to study immunodeficiency 73b with defective neutrophil chemotaxis and lymphopenia. 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]

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.
