Kras
Name
Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog
Synonyms
  • AI929937
  • c-Ki-ras
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables GTPase activity and protein-membrane adaptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Ras protein signal transduction; forebrain astrocyte development; and modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; genitourinary system; and limb. Used to study several diseases, including Noonan syndrome 3; arteriovenous malformations of the brain; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); pancreatic carcinoma (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Noonan syndrome (multiple); cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and lung cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human KRAS (KRAS proto-oncogene, GTPase).
MGI Description
PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit embryonic lethality, decreased fetal growth, pericardial edema, anemia, and liver hypoplasia. Mice heterozygous for various knock-in alleles exhibit increased tumorigenesis. [provided by MGI curators]
