Raf1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables MAP kinase kinase kinase activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in cell surface receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway and nervous system development. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on type B pancreatic cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; insulin secretion involved in cellular response to glucose stimulus; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Located in pseudopodium. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and immune system. Used to study Noonan syndrome 5. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Noonan syndrome (multiple); Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines 2; adenocarcinoma (multiple); and dilated cardiomyopathy 1NN. Orthologous to human RAF1 (Raf-1 proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
