'''Cdc42 effector protein 2''' is a [[protein]] that in humans is encoded by the ''CDC42EP2'' [[gene]].<ref name="pmid10490598">{{cite journal | vauthors = Joberty G, Perlungher RR, Macara IG | title = The Borgs, a new family of Cdc42 and TC10 GTPase-interacting proteins | journal = Molecular and Cellular Biology | volume = 19 | issue = 10 | pages = 6585–97 | date = Oct 1999 | pmid = 10490598 | pmc = 84628 | doi =  10.1128/MCB.19.10.6585}}</ref><ref name="pmid11035016">{{cite journal | vauthors = Hirsch DS, Pirone DM, Burbelo PD | title = A new family of Cdc42 effector proteins, CEPs, function in fibroblast and epithelial cell shape changes | journal = The Journal of Biological Chemistry | volume = 276 | issue = 2 | pages = 875–83 | date = Jan 2001 | pmid = 11035016 | doi = 10.1074/jbc.M007039200 | doi-access = free }}</ref><ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: CDC42EP2 CDC42 effector protein (Rho GTPase binding) 2| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=10435}}</ref>
== Function ==
CDC42, a small Rho GTPase, regulates the formation of F-actin-containing structures through its interaction with the downstream effector proteins. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Borg family of CDC42 effector proteins. Borg family proteins contain a CRIB (Cdc42/Rac interactive-binding) domain. They bind to, and negatively regulate the function of, CDC42. Coexpression of this protein with dominant negative mutant CDC42 protein in fibroblast was found to induce pseudopodia formation, which suggested a role of this protein in actin filament assembly and cell shape control.<ref name="entrez" />
== Interactions ==
CDC42EP2 has been shown to [[Protein-protein interaction|interact]] with [[CDC42]]<ref name=pmid10490598 /><ref name=pmid11035016 /> and [[RHOQ]].<ref name=pmid10490598/>
