2efe is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Arabidopsis thaliana. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
VPS9A_ARATH Functions as guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Rab small GTPases. Activates specifically RABF1, RABF2A and RABF2B proteins. Required for early stages of embryogenesis, cytokinesis, embryogenesis, and organ development. Is essential for the establishment or maintenance of the polar localization of the auxin efflux carrier PIN1.[1][2]
