The protein encoded by this proto-oncogene is a member of
the Dbl family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEF) for the
Rho family of GTP binding proteins. The protein is important in
hematopoiesis, playing a role in T-cell and B-cell development and
activation. This particular GEF has been identified as the specific
binding partner of Nef proteins from HIV-1. Coexpression and
binding of these partners initiates profound morphological changes,
cytoskeletal rearrangements and the JNK/SAPK signaling cascade,
leading to increased levels of viral transcription and replication.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
