Target Details for ALS2

Target: ALS2 (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 2 (Juvenile) (ALS2))

Alternative Name: Alsin / ALS2

Background: ALS2 specifically binds to, and functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for the small GTPase RAB5. ALS2 contains an ATS1/RCC1-like domain, a RhoGEF domain, and a vacuolar protein sorting 9 (VPS9) domain, all of which are guanine-nucleotide exchange factors that activate members of the Ras superfamily of GTPases. The protein localizes with RAB5 on early endosomal compartments, and functions as a modulator for endosomal dynamics. Loss of ALS2 function might underlie neuronal dysfunction and degeneration in a number of motor neuron diseases.Synonyms: ALS2CR6, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 2 chromosomal region candidate gene 6 protein, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis protein 2, KIAA1563
