    FAMILY
  • Ras subfamily of small guanine triphosphatases (GTPases)
  • CATEGORY enzyme
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • GTPase activity
  • may play an important roles in the regulation of signaling pathways and cellular processes distinct from those controlled by Ras
  • neuron-specific small GTPase that is involved in downstream signaling of plexin B3
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
    a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule nucleotide,
  • GTP binding
  • protein
  • calmodulin binding
  • interacting with PLXNB3
  • interaction with POU4F1 (functional interaction with POU4F1, demonstrating the role of RIT2 in modulating the activation of the POU4F1 regulated EGR1 promoter by the N-terminal domain of POU4F1)
