Vav1 functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Cdc42, facilitating its activation. Once activated, Cdc42 transmits its signals downstream to the PAK1 kinase, which plays a key role in regulating cytoskeletal dynamics and cell signaling. This Vav1-Cdc42-PAK1 signaling axis is crucial for processes like cell movement and immune responses (Tybulewicz 2005).
