β3-Chimaerin, a novel member of the chimaerin Rac-GAP family
Chimaerins are a family of diacylglycerol- and phorbol ester-regulated GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) for the small G-protein Rac. Extensive evidence indicates that these proteins play important roles in development, axon guidance, metabolism, cell motility, and T cell activation. Four isoforms h...
