Official Full Name: RAS related 2
Also known as: NS12; TC21
This gene encodes a member of the R-Ras subfamily of ras-like small GTPases. The encoded protein is bound to the plasma membrane and may function as a signal transducer. This protein may play an important role in activating signal transduction pathways that control cell proliferation. Mutations in this gene have been linked to the growth of certain tumors. Pseudogenes of this gene are present on chromosomes 1 and 2. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
