Nras - neuroblastoma ras oncogene

Predicted to enable GDP binding activity; GTP binding activity; and GTPase activity. Involved in positive regulation of angiogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including T cell receptor signaling pathway; defense response to protozoan; and positive regulation of interferon-gamma production. Located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; eye; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Noonan syndrome 6; autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome type 4; endocrine gland cancer (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human NRAS (NRAS proto-oncogene, GTPase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
