| ncRNA Symbol: | NRAS | | Full Name: | NRAS proto-oncogene, GTPase | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | ALPS4|CMNS|N-ras|NCMS|NRAS1|NS6 | | Chromosome: | chr1 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 114704469 | End Site(bp): | 114716894 | | | Gene Summary: | 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.
