Question

The cancer-causing forms of the ras protein are involved in which processes?

Answer 1

Answer:

relaying a signal from a growth factor receptor

Explanation:

The cancer-causing forms of the ras protein are involved in process of relaying a signal from a growth factor receptor.

Answer 2

Answer:

relaying a signal from a growth factor receptor

Explanation:

Mutation of an income changes the function of the encoded protein, creating the malignant properties that are needed for cancer to grow and spread.

Cancer-causing mutation of Ras creates a form of the protein that is always on.

Ras proteins function as binary molecular switches that control intracellular signaling networks. Ras-regulated signal pathways control such processes as actin cytoskeletal integrity, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cell adhesion, apoptosis, and cell migration.
