Abstract excerpt
Rap1 is a small GTP-binding protein that has been implicated in intracellular signaling and cytoskeletal control. Here, we show that Rap1 is expressed in rat cortical neurons and plays a critical role in dendritic development. Inhibition of Rap1 signaling either by expressing dominant negative mutant of Rap1 or Rap1GAP in cortical neurons reduced dendritic complexity. In contrast, expression of a constitutively...
