Target Information

Small G proteins act as molecular switches for regulation of variety of cellular processes, such as nuclear transport, signal transduction, membrane trafficking and protein synthesis. GTPBP2 (GTP-binding protein 2) is a 602 amino acid G protein that is expressed in kidney, skeletal muscle, testis, brain and thymus, though it is not detected in liver. Expression of GTPBP2 is enhanced by ©-interferon stimulation in HeLa cells, THP-1 cells and thioglycollate-elicited mouse peritoneal macrophages. There are four isoforms of GTPBP2 that are expressed as a result of alternative splicing events. Since mutation of the gene encoding GTPBP1 does not lead to any phenotypic abnormalities, it is thought that there may be a genetic redundancy to make up for GTPBP1 lack-of-function. GTPBP2 shares 44% sequence similarity with GTPBP1 and also overlaps in expression pattern, suggesting that the GTPBP2 gene may compensate for GTPBP1 genetic abnormalities.
