Function

This gene encodes a member of the IQGAP family. The protein contains three IQ domains, one calponin homology domain, one Ras-GAP domain and one WW domain. It interacts with components of the cytoskeleton, with cell adhesion molecules, and with several signaling molecules to regulate cell morphology and motility.^[6]

Interactions

IQGAP2 has been shown to interact with CDC42^[5] and RAC1.^[5]
