Rac1 Signaling Is Critical to Cardiomyocyte Polarity and Embryonic Heart Development
16 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Defects in cardiac septation are the most common form of congenital heart disease, but the mechanisms underlying these defects are still poorly understood. The small GTPase Rac1 is implicated in planar cell polarity of epithelial cells in Drosophila; however, its role in mammalian cardiomyocyte polarity is not clear. We tested the hypothesis that Rac1 signaling in the second heart field regulates...
