DOCK8 (Dedicator of cytokinesis protein 8) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) which specifically activates small GTPase CDC42 by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. During immune responses, required for interstitial dendritic cell (DC) migration by locally activating CDC42 at the leading edge membrane of DC. Required for CD4(+) T-cell migration in response to chemokine stimulation by promoting CDC42 activation at T cell leading edge membrane. Is involved in NK cell cytotoxicity by controlling polarisation of microtubule-organising centre (MTOC), and possibly regulating CCDC88B-mediated lytic granule transport to MTOC during cell killing. Location: Cytoplasm; Cell membrane; Cell projection, lamellipodium membrane (UniProt). Locus 9p24.3 (HGNC).
