Abstract excerpt
Rap1 and Rho small G proteins have been implicated in the neurite outgrowth, but the functional relationship between Rap1 and Rho in the neurite outgrowth remains to be established. Here we identified a potent Rho GTPase-activating protein (GAP), RA-RhoGAP, as a direct downstream target of Rap1 in the neurite outgrowth. RA-RhoGAP has the RA and GAP domains and showed GAP activity specific for Rho, which was...
