Gene information for RASSF1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID11186
Official gene symbolRASSF1
Full nameRas association (RalGDS/AF-6) domain family member 1
Aliases,123F2,NORE2A,RASSF1A,RDA32,REH3P21,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein similar to the RAS effector proteins. Loss or altered expression of this gene has been associated with the pathogenesis of a variety of cancers, which suggests the tumor suppressor function of this gene. The inactivation of this gene was found to be correlated with the hypermethylation of its CpG-island promoter region. The encoded protein was found to interact with DNA repair protein XPA. The protein was also shown to inhibit the accumulation of cyclin D1, and thus induce cell cycle arrest. Seven alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq]
