About Kras

Chromosome 6: 145,162,425-145,195,965 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM000999.3

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 201 orthologues, 35 paralogues and is associated with 90 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in CNS E18 (RPKM 17.), whole brain E14.5 (RPKM 16.2) and 26 other tissues.

Summary

Enables GTPase activity. Involved in endocrine signaling. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including forebrain astrocyte development; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and positive regulation of Rac protein signal transduction. Located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early embryo; eye; genitourinary system; and gut. Used to study several diseases, including Noonan syndrome 3; carcinoma (multiple); juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia; lung cancer; and prostate Cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Noonan syndrome (multiple); arteriovenous malformations of the brain; cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (multiple); gastrointestinal system Cancer (multiple); and hematologic Cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human KRAS (KRAS proto-oncogene, GTPase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
