GO curators for mouse genes have assigned the following annotations to the gene product of Def6. (This text reflects annotations as of Wednesday, January 23, 2013.) Summary from NCBI RefSeq
[Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] DEF6, or IBP, is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RAC (MIM 602048) and CDC42 (MIM 116952) that is highly expressed in B and T cells (Gupta et al., 2003 [PubMed 12923183]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]Summary text based on GO annotations supported by experimental evidence in mouse
The gene product of Def6 has been shown to bind to the gene products of Itga7. [1]
