Rho GTPases: Big Players in Breast Cancer Initiation, Metastasis and Therapeutic Responses
Cells, 2020 Rho GTPases, a family of the Ras GTPase superfamily, are key regulators of the actin cytoskeleton. They were originally thought to primarily affect cell migration and invasion; however, recent advances in our understanding of the biology and function of ...

Turning Platelets Off and On: Role of RhoGAPs and RhoGEFs in Platelet Activity
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Platelet cytoskeletal reorganisation is a critical component of platelet activation and thrombus formation in haemostasis. The Rho GTPases RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42 are the primary drivers in the dynamic reorganisation process, leading to the development of ...

High Throughput strategies Aimed at Closing the GAP in Our Knowledge of Rho GTPase Signaling
Cells, 2020 Since their discovery, Rho GTPases have emerged as key regulators of cytoskeletal dynamics. In humans, there are 20 Rho GTPases and more than 150 regulators that belong to the RhoGEF, RhoGAP, and RhoGDI families.

Rho GTPases and spermatogenesis
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2003 Rho GTPases, such as Rho, Rac and Cdc42, are known to regulate many cellular processes including cell movement and cell adhesion. While the cellular events of germ cell movement are crucial to spermatogenesis since developing germ cells must migrate progressively from the basal to the adluminal compartment but remain attached to the seminiferous ...
