Abstract excerpt
Individual members of the RGK family of Ras-related GTPases, which comprise Rad, Gem/Kir, Rem and Rem2, have been implicated in important functions such as the regulation of voltage-gated calcium channel activity and remodeling of cell shape. The GTPase Kir/Gem inhibits the activity of calcium channels by interacting with the beta-subunit and also regulates cytoskeleton dynamics by inhibiting the Rho-Rho kinase...
