RHOBTB2

Also known as DBC2, Rho related BTB domain containing 2, EIEE64, p83, DEE64

Rho-related BTB domain-containing protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RHOBTB2 gene.

Gene data

RHOBTB2

Name: Rho related BTB domain containing 2
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: DBC2, DEE64, EIEE64, p83

The protein encoded by this gene is a small Rho GTPase and a candidate tumor suppressor. The encoded protein interacts with the cullin-3 protein, a ubiquitin E3 ligase necessary for mitotic cell division. This protein inhibits the growth and spread of some types of breast cancer. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011].
