Anti-RAPGEF2 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RAPGEF2 gene. 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.

Responsible for the deiodination of T4 (3,5,3',5'-tetraiodothyronine) into T3 (3,5,3'-triiodothyronine) and of T3 into T2 (3,3'-diiodothyronine) . Plays a role in providing a source of plasma T3 by deiodination of T4 in peripheral tissues such as liver and kidney.
