Abstract excerpt
The Rho GTPase, Rac2, is expressed only in hematopoietic cell lineages, suggesting a specific cellular function in these cells. Genetic targeting studies in mice showed that Rac2 is an essential regulator of neutrophil chemotaxis, L-selectin capture and rolling, and superoxide production. Recently, a dominant negative mutation of Rac2, D57N, has been reported to be associated with a human phagocytic...
