CDC42EP2

CDC42EP2 (CDC42 Effector Protein 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Actin Nucleation by ARP-WASP Complex and G-protein signaling RAC1 in cellular process. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include GTPase activator activity and opioid peptide activity. An important paralog of this gene is CDC42EP3.

Full Name

CDC42 Effector Protein 2

Function

Probably involved in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. May act downstream of CDC42 to induce actin filament assembly leading to cell shape changes. Induces pseudopodia formation in fibroblasts in a CDC42-dependent manner.
