VAV2 vav guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2

Gene ID: 7410, updated on 18-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: VAV-2

Summary

VAV2 is the second member of the VAV guanine nucleotide exchange factor family of oncogenes. Unlike VAV1, which is expressed exclusively in hematopoietic cells, VAV2 transcripts were found in most tissues. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]
