Gene: RASSF5

Alternate names for this Gene: Maxp1|NORE1|NORE1A|NORE1B|RAPL|RASSF3

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the Ras association domain family. It functions as a tumor suppressor, and is inactivated in a variety of cancers. The encoded protein localizes to centrosomes and microtubules, and associates with the GTP-activated forms of Ras, Rap1, and several other Ras-like small GTPases. The protein regulates lymphocyte adhesion and suppresses cell growth in response to activated Rap1 or Ras. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1q32.1

Description of this Gene: Ras association domain family member 5

Type of Gene: protein-coding
