Background: Rap2 is a member of the Ras superfamily of low molecular weight GTP/GDP binding proteins. The Rap proteins are 50% homologous in sequence to p21ras. Like Ras, the Rap proteins cycle between a GDP-bound inactive form and a GTP-bound active form. Conversion between these two forms is regulated by Rap-GTPase activating protein (Rap-GAP) and a Rap-GDP dissociation stimulator (GDS). Since Ras and Rap have the same amino acid sequence in their putative effector domain (aa. 32-40), it seems likely that they perform either similar or antagonistic functions. Rap2 proteins are about 60% identical to Rap1 proteins and Rap2A and Rap2B show 90% amino acid identity, differing mainly at the carboxy-terminus. Unlike Rap1, the Rap2 proteins cannot compete with Ras for interaction with Ras-GAP, nor are they substrates for PKA. It follows that the intrinsic GTPase activity of Rap2A is not stimulated by Ras-GAP, however a distinct activator (Rap-GAP) has been identified. Both Rap2 proteins show posttranslational modifications: Rap2B is geranylgeranylated and Rap2A is the first non-Ras member of the Ras superfamily observed to be farnesylated. This antibody is routinely tested by western blot analysis.
