Abstract excerpt
Recent studies established that the Rac-GAP beta2-chimaerin plays important roles in development, neuritogenesis, and cancer progression. A unique feature of beta2-chimaerin is that it can be activated by phorbol esters and the lipid second messenger diacylglycerol (DAG), which bind with high affinity to its C1 domain and promote beta2-chimaerin translocation to membranes, leading to the inactivation of the small...
