Abstract excerpt
The Kirsten-ras (onco)gene codes for a GTP-binding membrane protein that is involved in signal transduction. Activated ras triggers a cascade of protein-phosphorylations that ultimately lead to cell proliferation. Ras-mutations are the main cause for adenocarcinomas of the pancreas besides some m...
