Abstract excerpt
The ras genes are required for normal cell growth and mediate transformation by oncogenes encoding protein tyrosine kinases. Normal ras can transform cells in vitro and in vivo, but mutationally activated ras does so much more efficiently, and highly transforming mutant versions of ras have been isolated from a variety of human and animal tumours. The ras genes encode membrane-associated, guanine...
