Article Synopsis
- The SMAP subfamily of Arf GTPase-activating proteins in mammals includes closely related proteins, SMAP1 and SMAP2, which have different roles in membrane trafficking.
- Research shows that knocking out both SMAP1 and SMAP2 in mice leads to cell death in early embryos (E7.5) and likely causes the embryos to not survive.
- The findings suggest that at least one of the SMAP proteins is essential for normal embryonic development.
