Ras Gene in Cell Signaling

The Ras gene helps control cell signaling. Ras proteins act as switches that pass signals inside a cell. These signals can affect growth and other cell responses.

Ras is important in many cells because it helps move information from the cell surface to the cell interior. When this signaling syste...

Eukaryotic cells employ numerous intracellular and extracellular signaling cascades to respond appropriately to the external stimuli as well as to maintain their normal physiological functions.

These signaling cascades are controlled by a diverse set of intracellular regulatory proteins, such as the Ras proteins. 

Ras is a family o...
