Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAPGEF1 gene. [5] [6]
The protein encoded by this gene is a human guanine nucleotide releasing protein for Ras protein. It belongs to the adaptor-type Src homology (SH)2-containing molecules. Src homology 2 domains are globular protein modules present in a large variety of functionally distinct proteins. They mediate binding events that control the activity and localization of many proteins involved in the transmission of signals from the cell surface to the nucleus. The mRNAs of these proteins are expressed ubiquitously in human adult and fetal tissues. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been determined. [7]
RAPGEF1 has been shown to interact with:
The epidermal growth factor receptor is a transmembrane protein that is a receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family of extracellular protein ligands.
Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2, also known as Grb2, is an adaptor protein involved in signal transduction/cell communication. In humans, the GRB2 protein is encoded by the GRB2 gene.
Proto-oncogene c-KIT is the gene encoding the receptor tyrosine kinase protein known as tyrosine-protein kinase KIT, CD117 or mast/stem cell growth factor receptor (SCFR). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. KIT was first described by the German biochemist Axel Ullrich in 1987 as the cellular homolog of the feline sarcoma viral oncogene v-kit.
Son of sevenless homolog 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOS1 gene.
Adapter molecule crk also known as proto-oncogene c-Crk is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CRK gene.
Lymphocyte cytosolic protein 2, also known as LCP2 or SLP-76, is a signal-transducing adaptor protein expressed in T cells and myeloid cells and is important in the signaling of T-cell receptors (TCRs). As an adaptor protein, SLP-76 does not have catalytic functions, primarily binding other signaling proteins to form larger signaling complexes. It is a key component of the signaling pathways of receptors with immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) such as T-cell receptors, its precursors, and receptors for the Fc regions of certain antibodies. SLP-76 is expressed in T-cells and related lymphocytes like natural killer cells.
The Linker for activation of T cells, also known as linker of activated T cells or LAT, is a protein involved in the T-cell antigen receptor signal transduction pathway which in humans is encoded by the LAT gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
GRB2-associated-binding protein 2 also known as GAB2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GAB2 gene.
Cbl is a mammalian gene family. CBL gene, a part of the Cbl family, encodes the protein CBL which is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase involved in cell signalling and protein ubiquitination. Mutations to this gene have been implicated in a number of human cancers, particularly acute myeloid leukaemia.
Tyrosine-protein kinase HCK is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HCK gene.
Phospholipase C, gamma 1, also known as PLCG1 and PLCgamma1, is a protein that in humans involved in cell growth, migration, apoptosis, and proliferation. It is encoded by the PLCG1 gene and is part of the PLC superfamily.
Crk-like protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CRKL gene.
GRB2-associated-binding protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GAB1 gene.
SH3 domain-containing kinase-binding protein 1 is an adaptor protein that in humans is encoded by the SH3KBP1 gene.
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit beta is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PIK3R2 gene.
Breast cancer anti-estrogen resistance protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BCAR1 gene.
Guanine nucleotide exchange factor VAV2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the VAV2 gene.
SH2B adapter protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SH2B2 gene.
Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAPGEF2 gene.
GRB2-related adapter protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GRAP gene.
