Abstract excerpt
The diffuse B-cell lymphoma (Dbl) family of the guanine nucleotide exchange factors is a direct activator of the Rho family proteins. The Rho family proteins are involved in almost every cellular process that ranges from fundamental ( e.g. the establishment of cell polarity) to highly specialized processes ( e.g. the contraction of vascular smooth muscle cells).
