Gene Description MRAS, muscle RAS oncogene homolog, is a member of the RAS family of GTPases (PMID: 9400994, PMID: 33130177) that activates RAF kinases and ERK1/2 (PMID: 16630891, PMID: 24211266), and plays a role in neuronal differentiation (PMID: 16923128), cell polarity, and migration (PMID: 24211266, PMID: 29311130).
