Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nThe hematopoietic‐restricted Rho family GTPase Rac2 acts as a central molecular switch that orchestrates cytoskeletal dynamics and signal transduction required for proper immune cell function. In neutrophils and B lymphocytes, for example, Rac2 is essential for modulating actin reorganization that underlies directed chemotaxis, adhesion and formation of immunological synapses, as well as coordinating receptor‐mediated signaling that governs cell survival and differentiation. These processes help guarantee accurate spatial targeting of key effector molecules including NADPH oxidase components and integrin complexes, ensuring efficient recognition and response to external stimuli."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "12"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nBeyond controlling actin-driven morphology and motility, Rac2 is indispensable for the generation and spatial deployment of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other redox signals that empower neutrophils to kill microbes and form extracellular traps, while also optimizing antigen cross‐presentation in dendritic cells.
