RASSF2, KIAA0168, Ras association domain-containing protein 2
This gene encodes a protein that contains a Ras association domain. Similar to its cattle and sheep counterparts, this gene is located near the prion gene. Two alternatively spliced transcripts encoding the same isoform have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],function:Potential tumor suppressor. Acts as a KRAS-specific effector protein. May promote apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.,similarity:Contains 1 Ras-associating domain.,similarity:Contains 1 SARAH domain.,subunit:Interacts directly with activated KRAS in a GTP-dependent manner.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed with highest levels in brain, placenta, peripheral blood and lung. Frequently down-regulated in lung tumor cell lines.,
