Cancer cells showed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Several cases of liver cancers along with a few cases of melanomas, breast, thyroid and pancreatic cancers were strongly stained.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
MRAS (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
M-RAs, R-RAS3, RRAS3
Description
Muscle RAS oncogene homolog (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the Ras family of small GTPases. These membrane-associated proteins function as signal transducers in multiple processes including cell growth and differentiation, and dysregulation of Ras signaling has been associated with many types of cancer. The encoded protein may play a role in the tumor necrosis factor-alpha and MAP kinase signaling pathways. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
