GTPases

GTPases are an important target in human diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), cardiovascular, pulmonary, and neurological disorders, and cancers 1

Small GTPases are proteins that switch between the GDP- and GTP-bound forms with the help of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and GTPase activating proteins (GAPs). 2
