Name: | Ras |
Definition: | The Ras GTPase proteins comprise a family of self-terminating molecular switches that couple the activation of receptor and non-receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs and NRTKs) to an elaborate array of effector pathways regulating cell proliferation, survival and differentiation. The three cellular ras genes encode four highly homologous 21 kD proteins: N-, H-, and K-ras4A and 4B. The three human ras genes represent the most frequently mutated oncogenes in human cancers. |
