Inhibition of Rho and Rac Geranylgeranylation by Atorvastatin Is Critical for Preservation of Endothelial Junction Integrity
BACKGROUND: Small GTPases (guanosine triphosphate, GTP) are involved in many critical cellular processes, including inflammation, proliferation, and migration. GTP loading and isoprenylation are two important post-translational modifications of small GTPases, and are critical for their normal functi...
