Rnd2 is a small (~21 kDa) signaling G protein (to be specific, a GTPase), and is a member of the Rnd subgroup of the Rho family of GTPases. [5] It is encoded by the gene RND2. [6]
It contributes to regulating the organization of the actin cytoskeleton in response to extracellular growth factors (Nobes et al., 1998).[supplied by OMIM] [7]
This particular family member has been implicated in the regulation of neuronal morphology and endosomal trafficking.
The gene localizes to chromosome 17 and is the centromeric neighbor of the breast-ovarian cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1. [6]
Rnd2 has been shown to interact with:
