Oncogenic KRAS mutations modulate BAX-mediated cell death.

Abstract excerpt

Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) belongs to the GTPase RAS superfamily, which regulates several cell-signaling pathways involved in the control of important cellular functions, including apoptosis. Oncogenic mutations in KRAS are considered the most common gain-of-function mutations, affecting 30-50 % of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. While RAS proteins usually play an anti-apoptotic role,...
