Abstract
Small GTPases are small (about 21 kDa) proteins that regulate many biological processes, such as vesicle transport, cell division cycle, cell migration, invasion, adhesion, proliferation and DNA repair, they are involved in carcinogenesis and neurodegenerative diseases. Some of these proteins, like those in the Rho family, are important regulators of the actin cytoskeleton, which has an impact on cell adhesion and motility. The review considers normal and pathological processes in human cells, which are regulated by the Rho family small GTPases. Particular attention is paid to inhibitors of small GTPases and their use in the treatment of various diseases.
