Anti-NRAS Antibody Picoband® Biotin Conjugated

This is an N-ras oncogene encoding a membrane protein that shuttles between the Golgi apparatus and the plasma membrane. This shuttling is regulated through palmitoylation and depalmitoylation by the ZDHHC9-GOLGA7 complex. The encoded protein, which has intrinsic GTPase activity, is activated by a guanine nucleotide-exchange factor and inactivated by a GTPase activating protein. Mutations in this gene have been associated with somatic rectal cancer, follicular thyroid cancer, autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome, Noonan syndrome, and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human NRAS. Human NRAS shares 100% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat NRAS.
