disease:Defects in RAC2 are the cause of neutrophil immunodeficiency syndrome [MIM:608203].,enzyme regulation:Regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) which promote the exchange of bound GDP for free GTP, GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) which increase the GTP hydrolysis activity, and GDP dissociation inhibitors which inhibit the dissociation of the nucleotide from the GTPase.,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. Seems to be involved in the regulation of the NADPH oxidase.,online information:RAC2 mutation db,similarity:Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rho family.,subcellular location:Membrane-associated when activated.,subunit:Interacts with DOCK2, which may activate it.,tissue specificity:Hematopoietic specific.,
Cytoplasm. Membrane-associated when activated.
Hematopoietic specific.
