Rac1

Rac1 is a small protein that plays a crucial role in controlling cell movement, growth, and the organization of the cell’s internal structure. It acts like a molecular switch, turning on pathways that enable cells to migrate and adapt to their environment. Rac1 is involved in important processes such as wound healing, immune responses, and the development of tissues. When Rac1 functions properly, cells can move and change shape as needed. However, if Rac1 is overactive or defective, it can contribute to health issues like cancer progression or immune system problems.
