Primary Identifier | MGI:1928386 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 56289 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables small GTPase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Ras protein signal transduction; positive regulation of protein ubiquitination; and protein stabilization. Predicted to act upstream of with a negative effect on regulation of cell cycle G1/S phase transition. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and microtubule cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in microtubule cytoskeleton and nucleus. Is expressed in liver and metanephros. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; carcinoma (multiple); reproductive organ cancer (multiple); and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human RASSF1 (Ras association domain family member 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous and heterozygous null mice display increased tumor incidence, especially of lung adenomas and lymphomas, and increased sensitivity to chemically induced tumors.
