Molecular evolution of the def6/swap70 gene family and functional analysis of swap70a in zebrafish embryogenesis

Rho GTPases including Rac1, RhoA, and Cdc42 are molecular switches as for signal transduction. Cycling between the GTP-bound active state and GDPbound inactive state is tightly controlled by regulatory proteins. The exchange of GDP for GTP is catalysed by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs)....
