Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionect-2 encodes, by alternative splicing, two isoforms of a putative RHO guanine nucleotide exchange factor (RhoGEF) required for cytokinesis of early embryos and epidermal P cells, as well as cell polarity of early embryos and migration of epidermal P cells; ECT-2 is thus required for normal vulval differentiation and locomotion, along with fertility and embryonic viability; ECT-2 also activates LET-60/RAS signalling during vulval development, requiring RHO-1 to do so; ECT-2 is orthologous to the proto-oncogene ECT2 (OMIM:600586) and Drosophila PEBBLE; ECT-2 has two BRCT domains and a RhoGEF domain; ect-2 is expressed ubiquitously during embryogenesis, but restricted to Q cells in early L1 larvae; ect-2's expression then broadens to P-cell derivatives and distal tip cells, vulval precursor cells and their derivatives, and some adult neurons; ECT-2 is symmetrically distributed in unfertilized oocytes, but then temporarily becomes asymmetrically depleted around the centrosomal protein SPD-5, and is required for initial anteroposterior polarization of the newly fertilized embryo; anterior localization of PAR-6 in newly fertilized embryos requires ECT-2, which colocalizes with the nonmuscle myosin NMY-2 in the early embryonic cell cortex; the boundary of anterior versus posterior domains in the early embryo depends on the antagonistic activities of ECT-2 versus RGA-3/4; a hypomorphic ect-2 mutation suppresses the multivulva phenotype of lin-32, whereas a gain-of-function ect-2 mutation hyperinduces vulval development; ECT-2 is expressed in embryonic and P cells.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005764

Automated_descriptionEnables guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in several processes, including asymmetric protein localization involved in cell fate determination; mitotic cytokinesis; and regulation of actin filament-based process. Located in cell cortex. Expressed in several structures, including P1.p; germ line; hermaphrodite gonad; neuroblasts; and somatic gonad precursor. Is an ortholog of human ECT2 (epithelial cell transforming 2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
