Rras Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable GDP binding activity; GTP binding activity; and GTPase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including face morphogenesis; positive regulation of endothelial cell-matrix adhesion via fibronectin; and regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of Schwann cell migration. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human RRAS (RAS related).

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