Ras-related protein M-Ras is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MRAS gene.[1][2][3]

Members of the RAS superfamily of GTP-binding proteins, which includes MRAS, are membrane-anchored, intracellular signal transducers responsible for a variety of normal cellular functions. They are oncogenically activated in a significant fraction of tumors.[supplied by OMIM][3]

Interactions

MRAS has been shown to interact with RASSF5[4] and RALGDS.[1][5]
