Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in insulin receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including B cell homeostasis; regulation of T cell activation; and regulation of pro-B cell differentiation. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Noonan syndrome 9. Orthologous to human SOS2 (SOS Ras/Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2).
