Rit2 Proteins and Enzymes

RIT2 is a gene that codes for a protein which binds and exchanges GTP and GDP, and has two isoforms with lengths of 217 and 153 amino acids, with weights of approximately 25 and 17 kDa, respectively. Current studies are being done on diseases and disorders relating to this gene including neuronitis, ehrlichiosis, cryoglobulinemia, hepatitis, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia. RIT2 has been shown to have interactions with CALM1, CALM2, CALM3, RLF, and HRAS in pathways such as the Trk receptor signaling, signaling to NGF, and signaling to ERKs pathways.
