Beta 2-chimerin induced murine breast cancer cells to respond to matrix stimuli
Published in Cancer Weekly, May 10th, 2005
According to a study from Argentina, "Chimerins are high affinity receptors for phorbol esters and diacylglycerol (DAG), unrelated to the protein kinase C isozymes. These receptors have deep implications in tumor biology since they regulate the activity of Rac1, a small GTP-binding protein of the Ras superfamily. It has been demonstrated that chimerins have GTPase activating protein (GAP) activity, leading to the acceleration of GTP hydrolysis from Rac1 and therefore facilitating the transition to its inactive state."
