The Rho family member Cdc42 can signal through a number of cellular pathways
fundamental to growth, differentiation and apoptosis. Recently, information has come at an
impressive pace, both with regard to previously identified targets for Cdc42 that regulate the
actin cytoskeleton (eg WASP) and cellular stress pathways (eg PAK) and with regard to
newly identified targets such as the coatomer protein complex and PAR6. Recent results hint
at a previously unappreciated link between these various cellular processes.
