[5][6][7] RAPGEF2 is a cyclic AMP binding protein.
[8][9] Members of the RAS subfamily of GTPases function in signal transduction as GTP/GDP-regulated switches that cycle between inactive GDP- and active GTP-bound states.
Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) such as RAPGEF2 serve as RAS activators by promoting acquisition of GTP to maintain the active GTP-bound state and are the key link between cell surface receptors and RAS activation.
[6] RAPGEF2 has been shown to interact with RAP1A[6] and RALGDS.
