OverviewNCBI Gene
Members of the RAS (see HRAS; MIM 190020) 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 (Rebhun et al., 2000 [PubMed 10934204]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

Protein binding partners of RAPGEF2 in the human serome: UniProt-annotated complex subunits plus reported interactors. Each links to its own Seroatlas record.
Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads RAPGEF2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RAPGEF2 could matter depends on whether native RAPGEF2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
RAPGEF2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native RAPGEF2 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label RAPGEF2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
