GTP-binding protein Rit2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RIT2 gene.[1][2][3]

RIN belongs to the RAS (HRAS; MIM 190020) superfamily of small GTPases (Shao et al., 1999).[supplied by OMIM][3]

RIT2 has been associated with Parkinson's disease in two large genetic studies.[4][5] An gene expression study of postmortem brain has suggested RIT2 interacts with interferon-γ signalling.[6]

Interactions

RIT2 has been shown to interact with POU4F1.[7]
