MeSH definition : A rho GTP-binding protein that is prenylated (see PROTEIN PRENYLATION) at its C-terminus
and cycles between the cytoplasm and plasma membrane, linking receptor signaling pathways
with assembly of FOCAL ADHESIONS; STRESS FIBERS; and contractile ring formation during
CYTOKINESIS. It is overexpressed in proliferating and metastatic tumor cells.;
