High impact information on FNTA

  • cDNA cloning of the two subunits of human CAAX farnesyltransferase and chromosomal mapping of FNTA and FNTB loci and related sequences [1].
  • Insulin-stimulated VSMC expressing the FTase alpha-subunit (S60A,S62A) showed decreased (i) phosphorylation of FTase, (ii) FTase activity, (iii) amounts of farnesylated p21Ras, (iv) DNA synthesis, and (v) migration [2].
