A homologue of the ras-related CDC42 gene from Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
A cDNA was isolated from the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, using mixed oligodeoxyribonucleotides encoding part of the GTP-binding site of the ras superfamily. The encoded protein is the homologue of the budding yeast CDC42 gene product and the human proteins, CDC42Hs and G25K.
