1 Rac regulates cardiovascular superoxide through diverse molecular interactions: more than a binary GTP switch. Superoxides AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
2 Rac has two major functions: 1) it regulates the organization of the actin cytoskeleton, and 2) it controls the activity of the key enzyme complex NADPH oxidase to control superoxide production in both phagocytes and nonphagocytic cells. Superoxides AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
3 In phagocytes, superoxide derived from NADPH has a bactericidal function, whereas Rac-derived superoxide in the cardiovascular system has a diverse array of functions that have recently been a subject of intense interest. Superoxides AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
