Precautions | RAPGEF4 / EPAC2 Antibody (N-Terminus) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | RAPGEF4 |
---|---|
Synonyms | CGEF2, EPAC2 |
Function | Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RAP1A, RAP1B and RAP2A small GTPases that is activated by binding cAMP. Seems not to activate RAB3A. Involved in cAMP-dependent, PKA-independent exocytosis through interaction with RIMS2 (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Predominantly expressed in brain and adrenal gland. Isoform 2 is expressed in liver. Isoform 1 is expressed in liver at very low levels |
