DIRAS1 Polyclonal Antibody, AbBy Fluor™ 405 Conjugated

The three human RAS genes encode highly related 188 to 189 amino acid proteins, designated H-Ras, N-Ras and K-Ras4A and K-Ras4B (the two K-Ras proteins arise from alternative gene splicing) . Ras proteins function as binary molecular switches that control intracellular signaling networks. Ras-regulated signal pathways control such processes as actin cytoskeletal integrity, proliferation, differentiation, cell adhesion, apoptosis, and cell migration. Ras and ras-related proteins are often deregulated in cancers, leading to increased invasion and metastasis, and decreased apoptosis.DIRAS1 displays low GTPase activity and exists predominantly in the GTP-bound form. It is highly expressed in heart and brain.
