Description
Product Characteristics: RASSF6 Antibody: RASSF family proteins are tumor suppressors that are frequently downregulated during the development of human cancer. RASSF6 (Ras association (RalGDS/AF-6) domain family member 6), a member of RASSF family, acts as a Ras effector protein / tumor suppressor. RASSF6 contains one Ras-associating domain and one SARAH domain. It is involved in the induction of apoptosis, through both caspase-dependent and caspase-independent pathways. Defects in RASSF6 may facilitate viral NFκ,-B pathway and may play a vital role in infection.
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the Ras-association domain family (RASSF). Members of this family form the core of a highly conserved tumor suppressor network, the Salvador-Warts-Hippo (SWH) pathway. The protein encoded by this gene is a Ras effector protein that induces apoptosis. A genomic region containing this gene has been linked to susceptibility to viral bronchiolitis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants and protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
