1 rhoA is a small GTP-binding protein, and ROCK is a rhoA-associated coiled coil-forming serine/threonine kinase. Guanosine Triphosphate ras homolog family member A Gallus gallus
2 These results suggest that Ca2+ sensitization in the chicken gizzard is elicited via a rhoA/ROCKs pathway, and that this pathway may be responsible for the augmentation of contraction by GTP[gamma-S] in the permeabilized muscles. Guanosine Triphosphate ras homolog family member A Gallus gallus
