Abstract excerpt
Ras-related GTPase (Ral) is converted to the GTP-bound form by Ral GDP dissociation stimulator (Ral-GDS), a putative effector protein of Ras. Although a number of studies indicate that Ras induces cardiac hypertrophy, the functional role of Ral-GDS/Ral signaling pathway is as yet unknown in cardiac myocytes. We investigated the role of the Ral-GDS/Ral pathway in cardiac hypertrophy. Transfection of Ral-GDS and...
