Abstract excerpt
The mevalonate metabolic pathway is necessary for the isoprenylation of a number of small GTPases. We have previously presented that Rho plays a pivotal role in 1-oleoyl-lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-induced invasion of rat ascites hepatoma MM1 cells. Herein we report the effect of HMG-CoA reductas...
