Vav (protein)

Vav is a protein that plays a crucial role in cellular communication and signaling within the immune system and other tissues. It acts as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), helping to activate other proteins involved in cell growth, movement, and differentiation. By facilitating the exchange of certain molecules, Vav helps transmit important signals that influence how cells respond to their environment. This is particularly important for immune cells, which rely on Vav to coordinate their responses to infections or threats. Overall, Vav is essential for maintaining proper cellular functions and responses in the body.
