Ras protein let-60

Gene Summary

Enables GTP binding activity; phospholipase binding activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including learning or memory; positive regulation of receptor localization to synapse; and positive regulation of vulval development. Located in cell cortex. Is expressed in several structures, including germ line; gonad; head neurons; pharyngeal muscle cell; and vulval cell. Used to study RASopathy and cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Noonan syndrome (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and high grade glioma (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including HRAS (HRas proto-oncogene, GTPase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
