Ras-related protein Ral-A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RALA gene.[1][2]

The product of this gene belongs to the small GTPase superfamily, Ras family of proteins. GTP-binding proteins mediate the transmembrane signaling initiated by the occupancy of certain cell surface receptors. This gene encodes a low molecular mass ras-like GTP-binding protein that shares about 50% similarity with other ras proteins.[2]

Interactions

RALA has been shown to interact with Filamin,[3] Phospholipase D1[4][5] and RALBP1.[6][7][8][9]
