About This Section
| EntrezGene summary for ECT2: The protein encoded by this gene is a transforming protein that is related to Rho-specific exchange factors and yeast cell cycle regulators. The expression of this gene is elevated with the onset of DNA synthesis and remains elevated during G2 and M phases. In situ hybridization analysis showed that expression is at a high level in cells undergoing mitosis in regenerating liver. Thus, this protein is expressed in a cell cycle-dependent manner during liver regeneration, and is thought to have an important role in the regulation of cytokinesis. [provided by RefSeq] UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: ECT2_HUMAN, Q9H8V3Function: Binds highly specifically to RhoA, RhoC and Rac proteins, but does not appear to catalyze guanine nucleotide exchange (By similarity)Gene Wiki entry for ECT2 |
