Brefeldin A-inhibited guanine exchange factor 2 (BIG 2) belongs to the guanine-nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs).
Together with its close relative BIG 1 it is involved in the regulation of membrane traffic through activating ARFs and the recruitment of coat protein complexes, such as the COPI and the AP-1 clathrin adaptor complex.
It has been shown to interact with the beta-subunits of the GABA type-A receptors.
