Product Overview

Tag N/A
Host Species Human
Synonym GTPase NRas, HRAS1, ALPS4, N-ras, NRAS1, NS6, Transforming protein N-Ras.
Background NRAS binds GDP/GTP and has intrinsic GTPase activity. NRAS is a membrane protein that shuttles between the Golgi apparatus and the plasma membrane. This transport is regulated through palmitoylation and depalmitoylation by the ZDHHC9-GOLGA7 complex. NRAS is activated to a GTP-bound form by a GTPase activating protein and inactivated to a GDP-bound form by a guanine nucleotide-exchange factor. Defects in this NRAS gene result in juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia.
Description NRAS Human Recombinant expressed in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 186a.a. (1-186 a.a.) and having a molecular weight of 20.8kDa. The NRAS is purified by conventional chromatography.

Gene Functions References

  1. Tet2/Nras double-mutant leukemia showed preferential sensitivity to MAPK kinase (MEK) inhibition in both mouse model and patient samples PMID: 29275866
  2. Our study provided the first evidence that miR-29a suppressed lung cancer cell growth through inhibition of NRAS PMID: 29495918
  3. NRAS mutations harbor commonly in neurocutaneous melanosis. PMID: 30145692
  4. Ets-1 is induced by BRAF or MEK kinase inhibition, resulting in increased NRAS expression, which could be blocked by inactivation of Usp9x. PMID: 28198367
  5. we used hot-spot mutation sequencing to examine whether KRAS/NRAS mutations, a characteristic feature of mesonephric carcinoma,1 are also present in mesonephric hyperplasia. None of the mesonephric hyperplasia cases harboured a KRAS or NRAS mutation. PMID: 28703285
  6. BRAF mutations more frequently affected individuals younger than 61 with phototype II. In contrast, NRAS mutations were more frequent in phototype III cases. Mutations of both genes were more frequent in cases with satellitosis in the first melanoma, and in cases with ulceration in the subsequent lesions. PMID: 29180316
  7. Identification of KRAS/NRAS/BRAF mutation status is crucial to predict the therapeutic effect and determine individual therapeutic strategies for patients with colorectal cancer. PMID: 29335867
  8. common conjunctival melanocytic nevi have mutually exclusive mutations in BRAF and NRAS. The two conjunctival blue nevi harbored GNAQ mutations. This suggests the driver mutations of conjunctival nevi are similar to those of nevi of the skin. At the molecular level, conjunctival nevi appear more like cutaneous nevi than choroidal nevi PMID: 29332123
  9. the mutational status of BRAF, NRAS, and TERT promoter genes in 97 melanomas, was investigated. PMID: 29061376

  11. N-Ras preferentially populated raft domains when bound to mant-GDP. It lost its preference for rafts when associated with a GTP mimic, mant-GppNHp. The isolated lipidated C-terminal peptide of N-Ras was outside of the liquid-ordered rafts, most likely in the bulk-disordered lipid. Substitution of the N-Ras N-terminal G domain with a homologous G domain of H-Ras disrupted the nucleotide-dependent lipid domain switch. PMID: 29280621
  12. We report herein for the first time that 30% of cutaneous NRAS mutant melanomas have a high M%NRAS. Chromosome instability, (chromosome 1 polysomy, intratumor copy number variation of chromosome1/NRAS) rather than the acquired copy neutral LOH seems to be responsible for most of the cases with high M%NRAS. PMID: 28668077
  13. NRAS status (exons 2-4) was analyzed by Pyrosequencing in a case series of 50 squamous cell anal carcinoma patients. PMID: 27886225

  16. Authors analyzed 421 samples from CLM patients for their all-RAS mutation status to compare the overall survival rate (OS), recurrence-free survival rate (RFS), and the pattern of recurrence between the patients with and without RAS mutations. PMID: 29194647
  17. The lack of KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, and PIK3CA mutation in our study may suggest that a subset of eyelid sebaceous carcinomas is unlike that of eyelid sebaceous carcinomas of western countries. PMID: 28551389

  22. Mutation analysis Iindicate NRAS as the most commonly mutated gene in myeloma patients followed by KRAS ( and BRAF. PMID: 27634910
  23. A rapid monophyletic evolution of melanoma subpopulations in response to targeted therapy that was not observed in non-targeted therapy was observed. NRAS mutations in BRAF mutated patient treated with a BRAF inhibitor were identified post-resistant samples. Sequence analysis showed that NRAS mutations co-occur with BRAF mutations in single cells, and are not mutually exclusive. PMID: 27791198
  24. studies suggest that ZDHHC9 may serve as a safe and effective target for developing therapies against NRAS-driven cancers PMID: 26493479
  25. MEK1 does not act as a general tumor suppressor in leukemogenesis. Rather, its effects strongly depend on the genetic context (RAS versus MYC-driven leukemia) and on the cell type involved. PMID: 27741509

  28. It may be that NRAS Q61R, found in around half of GCMNs,[9] is a less potent promoter of FGF23 than the HRAS mutations usually found in verrucous EN with CSHS, and requires a larger mutant clone to cause CSHS. PMID: 27900779
  29. Study showed that NRAS-mutation(+) colorectal cancer (CRC) had distinct epigenetic and clinicopathological features and significantly correlated with low-methylation epigenotypes. NRAS-mutation(+) CRC significantly correlated with less lymph vessel invasion, occurred preferentially in elder patients and at the distal colon, and showed relatively better prognosis, compared with KRAS-mutation(+) CRC.

  34. An age-related increase on the frequency of NRAS mutations was observed. PMID: 27433783
  35. Melanomas from geographically different regions in New Zealand have markedly different mutation frequencies, in particular in the NRAS and EPHB6 genes, when compared to The Cancer Genome Atlas database or other populations.

Proteins are sensitive to heat, and freeze-drying can preserve the activity of the majority of proteins. It improves protein stability, extends storage time, and reduces shipping costs. However, freeze-drying can also lead to the loss of the active portion of the protein and cause aggregation and denaturation issues. Nonetheless, these adverse effects can be minimized by incorporating protective agents such as stabilizers, additives, and excipients, and by carefully controlling various lyophilization conditions.

Commonly used protectant include saccharides, polyols, polymers, surfactants, some proteins and amino acids etc. We usually add 8% (mass ratio by volume) of trehalose and mannitol as lyoprotectant. Trehalose can significantly prevent the alter of the protein secondary structure, the extension and aggregation of proteins during freeze-drying process; mannitol is also a universal applied protectant and fillers, which can reduce the aggregation of certain proteins after lyophilization.

Our protein products do not contain carrier protein or other additives (such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA) and sucrose, etc., and when lyophilized with the solution with the lowest salt content, they often cannot form A white grid structure, but a small amount of protein is deposited in the tube during the freeze-drying process, forming a thin or invisible transparent protein layer.

Reminder: Before opening the tube cap, we recommend that you quickly centrifuge for 20-30 seconds in a small centrifuge, so that the protein attached to the tube cap or the tube wall can be aggregated at the bottom of the tube. Our quality control procedures ensure that each tube contains the correct amount of protein, and although sometimes you can't see the protein powder, the amount of protein in the tube is still very precise.
