c-K-Ras or KRAS (kirsten rat sarcoma-2 virus oncogene) is a small GTP-binding protein. It is located on human chromosome 12p12.1. KRAS has two splice variants, such as KRASA and KRASB (KRAS proto-oncogenes). Expression of KRASA is restricted to specific tissues whereas KRASB is expressed everywhere .
Specificity
The antibody reacts with c-K-Ras and v-K-Ras p21. It crossreacts with cH-Ras and cN-Ras p21 on immunoblots.
Immunogen
recombinant p21 protein

Oncogenic Ras mutations render the protein constitutively active and promote tumorigenesis via chronic stimulation of effector pathways. In A549 lung adenocarcinoma approx. 50% of the total Ras population is constitutively active, yet these cells display only weak activation of the

Metformin is an oral biguanide commonly used for the treatment of type II diabetes and has recently been demonstrated to possess antiproliferative properties that can be exploited for the prevention and treatment of a variety of cancers. The mechanisms underlying
Although the protooncogenes small GTPases Ras are redox-sensitive proteins, how they are regulated by redox signaling in the central nervous system (CNS) is still poorly understood. Alteration in redox-sensitive targets by redox signaling may have myriad effects on Ras stability
