Rasa1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable several functions, including GTPase activator activity; enzyme binding activity; and phosphotyrosine residue binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus; cellular response to platelet-derived growth factor stimulus; and positive regulation of D-glucose import. Located in plasma membrane and ruffle. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arteriovenous malformation and basal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human RASA1 (RAS p21 protein activator 1).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Rasa1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
