Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RAB35 that acts as a regulator of T-cell receptor (TCR) internalization in TH2 cells (PubMed:20154091, PubMed:20937701, PubMed:24520163, PubMed:26774822). Acts by promoting the exchange of GDP to GTP, converting inactive GDP-bound RAB35 into its active GTP-bound form (PubMed:20154091, PubMed:20937701). Plays a role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis (PubMed:20154091). Controls cytokine production in TH2 lymphocytes by controlling the rate of TCR internalization and routing to endosomes: acts by mediating clathrin-mediated endocytosis of TCR via its interaction with the adapter protein complex 2 (AP-2) and GEF activity (PubMed:26774822). Dysregulation leads to impaired TCR down-modulation and recycling, affecting cytokine production in TH2 cells (PubMed:26774822).
