MRAS muscle RAS oncogene homolog

Gene ID: 22808, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: NS11; M-RAs; RRAS3; R-RAS3

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the Ras family of small GTPases. These membrane-associated proteins function as signal transducers in multiple processes including cell growth and differentiation, and dysregulation of Ras signaling has been associated with many types of cancer. The encoded protein may play a role in the tumor necrosis factor-alpha and MAP kinase signaling pathways. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
