Misregulated [https://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/GTPase_HRas Ras activity] can lead to uncontrolled signaling in many different cell signaling pathways. Figure 2 provides an overview of the pathways that are connected to Ras. As shown, neurofibromin's ability to regulate Ras activity can alter cell proliferation signaling, activation/ inactivation of transcription factors, and cell apoptotic factors, making its proper functioning crucial <ref name= ''McCubrey''>PMID:17126425</ref>. Additionally, due to its importance, neither neurofibromin nor Ras profile as possible drug targets.
