I have changed the Constitutively active Ras entry from the wrong: Constitutively active Ras (RasD) contains a mutation that blocks the functional binding of GAP and "locks" Ras in the active GTP-bound state.

I changed the shorthand "Pi" to "inorganic phosphate" because it's less confusing.

[edit] Some links to sort through

I'm putting some links here fairly indiscriminately until I decide (or someone else does) which if any are worth adding to the article itself.

• Signaling Specificity by Ras Family GTPases Is Determined by the Full Spectrum of Effectors They Regulate, Pablo Rodriguez-Viciana et al. [1]

• Transformation Potential of Ras Isoforms Correlates with Activation of Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase but Not ERK, Weiquan Li et al. [2]

• The Cell, Alberts et al. [3]

• Cancer Medicine 6 [4]

• The Ras/Raf/MEK/Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Pathway Induces Autocrine-Paracrine Growth Inhibition via the Leukemia Inhibitory Factor/JAK/STAT Pathway, Jong-In Park et al.[5]

• Meaningful relationships: the regulation of the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathway by protein interactions. W Kolch abstract [6] pdf[7]

any history of the name?
