Facts about Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent Rac exchanger 2 protein.
Mediates the activation of RAC1 at a PI3K-dependent Method. May be an important mediator of Rac signaling, acting directly downstream of both G protein- coupled receptors and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.

Isoform 1 is highly expressed in skeletal muscle, heart and placenta, absent from peripheral blood leukocytes. Isoform 2 is expressed in skeletal muscle, kidney, small intestine, and placenta. Isoform 3 is expressed in the heart.
