A rap GTPase interactor, RADIL, mediates migration of neural crest precursors

Article Abstract:

A study to show that the small GTPase Rap, RADIL is required for cell adhesion and migration of neural crest (NC) precursors is presented. The identification of the RADIL as a regulator of the NC migration defines a role for the Rap pathway in the process.
