KRAS Screening & Profiling Services
KRAS is an important protein in the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway that transmits signals from activated cell surface receptors leading to cell proliferation and survival. KRAS function is controlled by cycling through an inactive, GDP-bound state and an active, GTP-bound state. Activation of KRAS occurs when it binds to Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor (GEF) proteins, including SOS, which initiate the exchange of GDP for ...
Emerging Therapeutic Approaches Against RAS Cancer Mutations
Introduction
RAS (rat sarcoma virus) proteins are small GTPases involved in signal transduction as part of the RAS/MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) pathway and are involved in cell proliferation and differentiation. There are three human RAS genes: KRAS (Kristen rat sarcoma virus), HRAS (Harvey rat sarcoma virus) and NRAS (neuroblastoma rat sarcoma virus). The KRAS gene encodes two isoforms, KRAS-4B and KRAS-4A, but due t...
