The protein encoded by this gene is a brain-enriched nucleotide exchanged factor that contains an N-terminal GEF domain, 2 tandem repeats of EF-hand calcium-binding motifs, and a C-terminal diacylglycerol/phorbol ester-binding domain. This protein can activate small GTPases, including RAS and RAP1/RAS3. The nucleotide exchange activity of this protein can be stimulated by calcium and diacylglycerol. Four alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
Forensic Context
A study in mice demonstrated that binge-like ethanol consumption via a drinking-in-the-dark paradigm altered the expression of the RASGRP2 in the prefrontal cortex, as identified through RNA-seq analysis [Vallerini et al. DOI:10.1016/J.Neuroscience.2020.09.010].
