Description
Mouse anti Human H-Ras antibody, clone H-Ras-03 recognizes the human GTPase HRas also known as H-Ras, Transforming protein p21 or p21ras. H-Ras is a ubiquitously expressed lipid-anchored GTPase belonging to the Ras superfamily of small GTPases, which acts as a molecular signal transduction on/off switch on the inner surface of the plasma membrane and endomembranes (Milburn et al. 1990). H-Ras, N-Ras and K-Ras are highly related RAS genes which regulate pathways involved in cell differentiation, proliferation, adhesion, migration and apoptosis and are known proto-oncogenes. H-Ras is located within the peripheral plasma membrane and within endomembrane compartments including the ER and Golgi apparatus. In the ER H-Ras can be activated by the RasGRF family exchange factors RasGRF1 and RasGRF2, this process does not appear to happen withing the Golgi (Arozarena et al. 2004). Mutations in the H-Ras gene are responsible for the rare condition known as Costello syndrome characterized by facial, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal abnormalities and mental retardation (Gripp et al. 2006). Mouse anti Human H-Ras, clone H-Ras-03 has been used for the detection of H-Ras in the MCF10A human epitheliod breast cancer cell line by Western blotting (Vuoriluoto et al. 2011)
