Background
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the CDM protein family. It is specifically expressed in hematopoietic cells and is predominantly expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes. The protein is involved in remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton required for lymphocyte migration in response to chemokine signaling. It activates members of the Rho family of GTPases, for example RAC1 and RAC2, by acting as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) to exchange bound GDP for free GTP. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016],domain:The DHR-2 domain may mediate the GEF activity.,function:Involved in cytoskeletal rearrangements required for lymphocyte migration in response of chemokines. Activates RAC1 and RAC2 small GTPases, probably by functioning as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), which exchanges bound GDP for free GTP. May also participate in IL2 transcriptional activation via the activation of RAC2.,similarity:Belongs to the DOCK family.,similarity:Contains 1 DHR-1 (CZH-1) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 DHR-2 (CZH-2) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 SH3 domain.,subcellular location:Colocalizes with F-actin.,subunit:Interacts with RAC1 and RAC2. Interacts with CRKL and VAV. Interacts with CD3Z.,tissue specificity:Specifically expressed in hematopoietic cells. Highly expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes, and expressed at intermediate level in thymus and spleen. Expressed at very low level in the small intestine and colon.,
