Function
Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that catalyzes the exchange of GDP for GTP. Promotes guanine nucleotide exchange on the Rho family members of small GTPases, like RHOA, RHOC, RAC1 and CDC42. Required for signal transduction pathways involved in the regulation of cytokinesis. Component of the centralspindlin complex that serves as a microtubule-dependent and Rho-mediated signaling required for the myosin contractile ring formation during the cell cycle cytokinesis. Regulates the translocation of RHOA from the central spindle to the equatorial region. Plays a role in the control of mitotic spindle assembly; regulates the activation of CDC42 in metaphase for the process of spindle fibers attachment to kinetochores before chromosome congression. Involved in the regulation of epithelial cell polarity; participates in the formation of epithelial tight junctions in a polarity complex PARD3-PARD6-protein kinase PRKCQ-dependent manner. Plays a role in the regulation of neurite outgrowth. Inhibits phenobarbital (PB)-induced NR1I3 nuclear translocation. Stimulates the activity of RAC1 through its association with the oncogenic PARD6A-PRKCI complex in cancer cells, thereby acting to coordinately drive tumor cell proliferation and invasion. Also stimulates genotoxic stress-induced RHOB activity in breast cancer cells leading to their cell death.

- Activity summary
ECT2 also known as epithelial cell transforming sequence 2 is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor. It has a molecular mass of about 103 kDa. ECT2 is mostly expressed in proliferating cells including tumor cells and plays a role in cell cycle regulation. In its mechanical function ECT2 activates Rho family GTPases especially RhoA by facilitating the exchange of GDP for GTP. This activation is important for the regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics and cell division.
- Biological function summary
The regulation of cytoskeletal rearrangement and cell cycle progression involves ECT2. It is an essential part of the mitotic spindle assembly complex. ECT2 interacts with several cellular components to coordinate proper cytokinesis. This activity ensures that the cells divide correctly maintaining proper cell number and tissue homeostasis. ECT2's interaction with other proteins also determines its role in controlling cell shape and movement contributing further to cell cycle events.
- Pathways
ECT2 importantly participates in the RhoA signaling pathway which regulates the actin cytoskeleton. The proper function of this pathway is essential for cytokinesis and cell migration. ECT2's activity intersects with proteins like ROCK1 and ROCK2 which act downstream of RhoA to influence cell structure and integrity. In addition to RhoA signaling ECT2 is also involved in the Hippo pathway contributing to cell proliferation controls and tissue growth.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Scientists have found ECT2's involvement in cancer specifically in glioblastoma and breast cancer. Its overexpression in tumors correlates with increased cell proliferation and metastatic potential. In cancer progression ECT2 works with proteins like RhoA and YAP1 in Hippo signaling to influence cell growth and survival making it a target of interest in cancer research and therapeutic development. The aberrant regulation of ECT2 and its pathway partners can lead to uncontrolled cell division and tumor growth.
