Ras gene in marine mussels: a molecular level response to petrochemical exposure.

Marine pollution bulletin - 1 Apr 2008

Abstract excerpt

Mussels are susceptible to numerous toxicants and are often employed as bioindicators. This study investigated the status of the ras proto-oncogene in Mytilus galloprovincialis following petrochemical exposure. A M. galloprovincialis homologue of the vertebrate ras gene was isolated, showing conserved sequence in regions of functional importance and a high incidence of polymorphic variation. Mutational damage was...
