MRAS encodes a member of the Ras family of small GTPases. These membrane-associated proteins function as signal transducers in multiple processes including cell growth and differentiation, and dysregulation of Ras signaling has been associated with many types of cancer. The encoded protein may play a role in the tumor necrosis factor-alpha and MAP kinase signaling pathways. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. MRAS (Muscle RAS Oncogene Homolog) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with MRAS include Vertebral Artery Occlusion and Causalgia. Among its related pathways are Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and p70S6K Signaling.
