Other Information

**Key Characteristics** VAV2 is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that specifically activates Rac1 and RhoA, two members of the Rho GTPase family. The VAV2 GEF domain is responsible for exchanging GDP for GTP, activating the Rho GTPases, and regulating their downstream signaling pathways. VAV2 is also a phosphotyrosine residue-binding protein, allowing it to interact with and regulate various signaling proteins, including receptor tyrosine kinases and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. The gene is highly expressed in cells involved in immune responses, such as dendritic cells and macrophages, and has been shown to play a critical role in regulating immune cell function and cytokine production. **Pathways and Functions** VAV2 is involved in numerous signaling pathways, including: 1. **Rho GTPase cycle**: VAV2 activates Rac1 and RhoA, regulating their downstream signaling pathways, including cell migration, proliferation, and survival. 2. **Axon guidance**: VAV2 regulates axon guidance and neuronal development, influencing the formation of axonal projections and synaptic connections. 3. **Angiogenesis**: VAV2 is involved in angiogenesis, regulating the formation of new blood vessels and vascular permeability. 4. **Immune responses**: VAV2 regulates immune cell function, including dendritic cell and macrophage activation, cytokine production, and phagocytosis. 5. **Cell death signaling**: VAV2 is involved in cell death signaling pathways, including those mediated by the NRG1 receptor. **Clinical Significance** VAV2 has been implicated in several diseases, including: 1. **Cancer**: VAV2 overexpression has been observed in various types of cancer, including breast, lung, and colon cancer. 2. **Autoimmune disorders**: VAV2 has been implicated in autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. 3. **Infectious diseases**: VAV2 has been shown to play a critical role in regulating immune responses to infectious diseases, including Leishmania and HIV infections. 4. **Neurological disorders**: VAV2 has been implicated in neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. In conclusion, VAV2 is a critical regulator of various cellular processes, including cell migration, proliferation, and survival. Its involvement in numerous signaling pathways, including those involved in angiogenesis, immune responses, and cell death signaling, makes it a key player in the development and progression of various diseases. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the role of VAV2 in human disease and to explore its potential as a therapeutic target.
