Isoform-Specific Ras Functions in Development and Cancer
26 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
The three closely related mammalian ras genes, Hras, Nras and Kras, have each been implicated in human tumorigenesis by virtue of mutational activation. However, while these genes encode proteins with very similar biochemical properties, activating ras alleles corresponding to the various isoforms have been linked to particular malignancies. Accumulating evidence suggests that these proteins exert distinct...
