BRAF - B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase Gene
Also Known as NS7; B-raf; BRAF1; RAFB1; B-RAF1; BRAF-1
Species: Homo sapiens
About BRAF
This gene has 21 transcripts (splice variants), 211 orthologues, 23 paralogues and is associated with 245 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 6.6), brain (RPKM 5.3) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a protein belonging to the Raf family of serine/threonine protein kinases. This protein plays a role in regulating the MAP kinase/ERK signaling pathway, which affects cell division, differentiation, and secretion. Mutations in this gene, most commonly the V600E mutation, are the most frequently identified cancer-causing mutations in melanoma, and have been identified in various Other cancers as well, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma, colorectal Cancer, thyroid carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, hairy cell leukemia and adenocarcinoma of lung. Mutations in this gene are also associated with cardiofaciocutaneous, Noonan, and Costello syndromes, which exhibit overlapping phenotypes. A pseudogene of this gene has been identified on the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]
