High impact information on plexB

 

Other interactions of plexB

  • These results suggest a model whereby PlexB mediates repulsion by coordinately regulating two small GTPases in opposite directions: PlexB binds to Rac(GTP) and downregulates its output by blocking its access to PAK and, at the same time, binds to and increases the output of RhoA [2].
