Abstract excerpt
Rac proteins constitute a subgroup of the Rho family of small GTPases and include Rac1, which is expressed ubiquitously, and Rac2, a highly homologous protein only expressed in myelo-monocytic and lymphoid cell lineages. In fibroblasts, Rac1 plays a crucial role in control of actin cytoskeleton organisation, cell growth and Ras-induced transformation. In phagocytes, Rac1 and Rac2 regulate a specific enzymatic...
