RIT1 Ras like without CAAX 1

Gene ID: 6016, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: NS8; RIT; RIBB; ROC1

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of Ras-related GTPases. The encoded protein is involved in regulating p38 MAPK-dependent signaling cascades related to cellular stress. This protein also cooperates with nerve growth factor to promote neuronal development and regeneration. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
