Most cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity with additional nuclear or membranous positivity in several cases. Several cases of lymphomas and gliomas were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
CDC42EP2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
BORG1, CEP2
Description
CDC42 effector protein (Rho GTPase binding) 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
CDC42, a small Rho GTPase, regulates the formation of F-actin-containing structures through its interaction with the downstream effector proteins. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Borg family of CDC42 effector proteins. Borg family proteins contain a CRIB (Cdc42/Rac interactive-binding) domain. They bind to, and negatively regulate the function of CDC42. Coexpression of this protein with CDC42 suggested a role of this protein in actin filament assembly and cell shape control.
