Abstract excerpt
The Ras protein undergoes a series of post-translational modifications at the C-terminal CAAX motif, which culminates with the anchoring of p21 Ras to the plasma membrane where it relays growth regulatory signals from receptor tyrosine kinases to various pathways of cell signal transduction. FTI-276 is a CAAX peptidomimetic of the carboxyl terminal of Ras proteins. Pharmacokinetic analysis of FTI-276 in A/J mice...
