Rac is a subfamily of the Rho family of GTPases, small (~21 kDa) signaling G proteins (more specifically a GTPase).
The subgroup include:
Rac1.
Rac2.
Rac3
RhoG
Some research has suggested that Rac could be involved in mediating the process of forgetting.
Results strongly suggest that Rac acts as a positive regulator of the PAR-elicited release of phosphorylated-HSP27 from human platelets via p38 MAPK but not JNK 1).
