Review Exerpt: The three human RAS genes (HRAS, KRAS and NRAS) encode four highly related RAS small GTPases (HRAS, KRAS4A, KRAS4B and NRAS). RAS proteins function as GDP-GTP regulated binary on-off switches that regulate a diverse network of cytoplasmic signaling networks. In cancer and developmental disorders (RASopathies) mutationally activated RAS proteins drive aberrant signal transduction.
