Dexamethasone-induced Ras-related protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RASD1 gene.[1][2]

This gene encodes a Ras-related protein that is stimulated by dexamethasone. The exact function of this gene is unknown, but it may play a role in dexamethasone-induced alterations in cell morphology, growth and cell-extracellular matrix interactions. In addition, studies of a similar rat protein suggest that it functions as a novel physiologic nitric oxide (NO) effector. The gene product belongs to the Ras superfamily of small GTPases.[2]

Interactions

RASD1 has been shown to interact with NOS1AP.[3]
