Abstract excerpt
We report in silico identification and characterisation of a novel member of the ras association domain family 1 (RASSF1)/NORE1 family, namely, RASSF2, located at chromosomal region 20p13. It has three isoforms, all contain a ras association domain in the C-terminus. The longest isoform RASSF2A contains a 5' CpG island. RASSF2A was cloned from a brain cDNA library and directly sequenced, confirming the genomic...
