Abstract excerpt
The gene for von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis (NF1) was recently identified by positional cloning and found to code for a large, ubiquitously expressed protein. This protein has both structural and functional similarity to a family of proteins with guanosine triphosphatase-activating properties, involved in the regulation of the protooncogene ras. One of the postulated functions of the NF1 gene product may...
