RHOBTB1, KIAA0740, Rho-related BTB domain-containing protein 1, RHOBTB2, DBC2, KIAA0717, Rho-related BTB domain-containing protein 2, Deleted in breast cancer 2 gene protein, p83
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Rho family of the small GTPase superfamily. It contains a GTPase domain, a proline-rich region, a tandem of 2 BTB (broad complex, tramtrack, and bric-a-brac) domains, and a conserved C-terminal region. The protein plays a role in small GTPase-mediated signal transduction and the organization of the actin filament system. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008],similarity:Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rho family.,similarity:Contains 2 BTB (POZ) domains.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous, with highest levels in skeletal muscle, placenta, testis, stomach, and kidney, followed by uterus and adrenal gland. Expressed in a variety of fetal tissues.,
