DIRAS1 Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. DIRAS1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 215 amino acids (1-195a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 24.1 kDa. DIRAS1 protein is fused to a 20 amino acid His tag at N-terminus and is purified by standard chromatography. DIRAS1 is a member of a distinct branch of the functionally diverse Ras superfamily of monomeric GTPases. DIRAS1 demonstrates low GTPase activity and exists mainly in the GTP-bound form. Ras proteins operate as binary molecular switches that control intracellular signaling networks. Ras-regulated signal pathways regulate such processes as actin cytoskeletal integrity, proliferation, differentiation, cell adhesion, apoptosis, and cell migration. Ras and ras-related proteins are frequently deregulated in cancers, leading to increased invasion and metastasis, and decreased apoptosis.
