Abstract
The small GTPase Rap1 is involved in several aspects of cell adhesion, including integrin-mediated cell adhesion and cadherin-mediated cell junction formation. Recently, several effector proteins for Rap1 have been identified providing a clear link between Rap1 and actin dynamics. Furthermore, evidence is accumulating that Rap1 functions in the spatial and temporal control of cell polarity.
