N-RAS Antibody: Activating mutations and overexpression of classical Ras subfamily members (N-RAS, H-RAS, and K-RAS) have been widely investigated as key events in the development of human cancers. The N-RAS protein shuttles between the Golgi apparatus and the plasma membrane. This shuttling is regulated through palmitoylation and depalmitoylation by the ZDHHC9-GOLGA7 complex. N-RAS, which has intrinsic GTPase activity, is activated by a guanine nucleotide-exchange factor and inactivated by a GTPase activating protein. Mutations in this gene have been associated with somatic rectal cancer, follicular thyroid cancer, autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome, Noonan syndrome, and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia.1) Ehrhardt A, Ehrhardt GR, Guo X, et al.

Immunogen
N-RAS antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human N-RAS. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of N-RAS.
