Abstract excerpt
Neurofibromin is the product of the NF1 gene, whose alteration is responsible for the pathogenesis of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), one of the most frequent genetic disorders in man. It acts as a GTPase activating protein (GAP) on Ras; based on homology to p120GAP, a segment spanning 250-400 aa and termed GAP-related domain (NF1GRD; 25-40 kDa) has been shown to be responsible for GAP activity and represents the...
