Generic protein structure example

RalBP1-associated Eps domain-containing protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the REPS2 gene.[1][2][3]

Function

The product of this gene is part of a protein complex that regulates the endocytosis of growth factor receptors. The encoded protein directly interacts with a GTPase activating protein that functions downstream of the small G protein Ral. Its expression can negatively affect receptor internalization and inhibit growth factor signaling. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[3]

Interactions

REPS2 has been shown to interact with EPN1,[4] EPS15[5] and RALBP1.[1]
