Abstract excerpt
Vav1 is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) specifically expressed in hematopoietic cells. It consists of multiple structural domains and plays important roles in T cell activation. The other highly conserved isoforms of Vav family, Vav2 and Vav3, are ubiquitously expressed in human tissues including lymphocytes. All three Vav proteins activate Rho family small GTPases, which are involved in a variety of...
