KRAS: Art, Clinical significance when mutated & As a therapeutic target

KRAS (Kirsten rat sarcoma virus oncogene homologue) is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein called K-Ras, a part of the RAS/MAPK pathway. The protein relays signals from outside the cell to the cell's nucleus. These signals instruct the cell to grow and divide (proliferate) or to mature and take on specialized functions (differentiate).…
