| Function
Ras GTPase activating protein (RasGAP) inactivates Ras from its active GTP-bound form to its GDP-bound form[1]. It is part of the mitogenic signal transmission via its N-terminal SH2-SH3-SH2 domains.
SynGAP is a neuronal RasGAP expressed in brain and negatively regulates Ras activity and its signaling pathways[2].
Relevance
Inactivated RasGAP activate RAS which is mutated in 30% of cancer types[3]. RasGAP Colra1 is involved in infection-related morphogenesis in gourd family plants[4].
