RAC2

Rac2 (Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 2) is a small (~21 kDa) signaling G protein (to be specific, a GTPase), and is a member of the Rac subfamily of the family Rho family of GTPases.[5] It is encoded by the gene RAC2.[6]

Members of Rho family of GTPases appear to regulate a diverse array of cellular events, including the control of cell growth, cytoskeletal reorganization, and the activation of protein kinases.[6]

Interactions

Rac2 has been shown to interact with ARHGDIA[7][8] and Nitric oxide synthase 2A.[9]

gollark: Pillow dragons would manage to win by being cute and/or absorbing impacts easily.
gollark: Also, nexuses/nexi are powerful, according to the description.
gollark: Nebulae would win fights by saying "Hey, stop fighting me! Look at this cool constellation here? See that star there? It's 500 light-years from this planet, and the latest data shows that it might have habitable planets! Cool, right?" and distracting their opponents.
gollark: ```Despite their great size and strength, Celestial Dragons are a peaceful breed named for their spectral, starry appearance. Little else is known about them, as they spend the vast majority of their lives partially phased out of the plane of existence through the use of powerful magic. Celestial Dragons are thought to assume their corporeal form only long enough to reproduce or to die; the rest of the time, they resemble living, breathing constellations, impervious to all physical and magical harm.```
gollark: And don't forget celestials.
