Abstract excerpt
Expression of the detoxication enzyme glutathione transferase P1-1 (GST P1-1) at elevated levels has been noted in many types of human tumors, including melanomas. The products of the human H-RAS, K-RAS and N-RAS genes play a key role in intracellular signal transduction leading to transcriptional activation of AP-1 (Fos/Jun) responsive genes. The oncogenic mutated forms of the ras proteins are constitutively...
