Abstract excerpt
The Eph family of receptor tyrosine kinases is involved in limiting cell and tissue interactions via a repulsive mechanism. The mechanism of repulsion involves reorganizing the actin cytoskeleton, but little is known of the molecular components that connect the receptor to the actin cytoskeleton. Recent studies in retinal ganglion cells have demonstrated that EphA4 activates the small GTPase Rho. We have...
