PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • N-terminal CZH1 domain, conserved among CZH proteins, and the Pleckstrin homology domain are involved in membrane localization, CDC42 activation, and regulation of dendrite growth
  • a DHR-2 (CZH-2) domain
  • mono polymer complex
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to rattus TRG protein
    intraspecies paralog to DOCK11 (52p100))
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • superfamily of guanine nucleotide exchange factors for Rho GTPases
  • Dock180-related family of proteins
  • CATEGORY regulatory

    basic FUNCTION
  • CDC42 guanine nucleotide exchange factor, having potential guanyl-nucleotide release factor activity
  • implicated in cell migration, phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, T-cell activation and neurite outgrowth, and probably arose relatively early in eukaryotic evolution
  • specific guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for CDC42
  • plays an important role in dendrite growth in hippocampal neurons through activation of CDC42
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
    a component dimerizes via the CDC42-binding CZH2 domain
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacts with CDC42 via the CZH2 doamin
  • interacting with Rac2 and Cdc42 (specifically recognize Rac2 and Cdc42 through its switch 1 as well as â2-â3 regions)
  • cell & other
