Nras Gene Summary [Mouse]

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 type II interferon production. Located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; eye; and genitourinary system. Used to study skin melanoma. 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, Jul 2025]

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 Nras often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
