Rabbit anti-Human RAC2 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P15153

Target Species

Human

Target Name

RAC2

Target Full Name

Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 2

Target Function

Plasma membrane-associated small GTPase which cycles between an active GTP-bound and inactive GDP-bound state. In active state binds to a variety of effector proteins to regulate cellular responses, such as secretory processes, phagocytose of apoptotic cells and epithelial cell polarization. Augments the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by NADPH oxidase.

Target Involvement

Neutrophil immunodeficiency syndrome (NEUID)

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Note=Membrane-associated when activated.

Target Protein Families

Small GTPase superfamily, Rho family

Target Tissue Specificity

Hematopoietic specific.

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the Ras superfamily of small guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-metabolizing proteins. The encoded protein localizes to the plasma membrane, where it regulates diverse processes, such as secretion, phagocytosis, and cell polarization. Activity of this protein is also involved in the generation of reactive oxygen species. Mutations in this gene are associated with neutrophil immunodeficiency syndrome. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 6.
