Abstract excerpt
Ras-family GTPases regulate a wide variety of cellular functions including cell growth and differentiation. Di-Ras, which belongs to a distinct subfamily of Ras-family GTPases, is expressed predominantly in brain, but the role of Di-Ras in nervous systems remains totally unknown. Here, we report that the Caenorhabditis elegans Di-Ras homologue drn-1 is expressed specifically in neuronal cells and involved in...
