Abstract excerpt
KRAS-induced actin-interacting protein (KRAP) was originally identified as one of the genes deregulated in colorectal cancer. KRAP encodes a cytoplasmic protein associated with filamentous-actin (F-actin), and the amino acid sequences are highly conserved among KRAP orthologues from fish to mammalian species. We demonstrated that KRAP-deficient mice show altered whole-body energy metabolism and resistance to...
