Abstract

The present invention relates to methods useful for identifying compounds capable of specifically regulating actin polymerization, stress fiber formation or focal adhesion assembly by regulating G.sub..alpha.12 and/or G.sub..alpha.13 activity in cells involved in inflammatory responses, immune responses, allergic responses and neuronal responses, kits to perform such assays and methods to control disease related to such responses.
