Gene: HRAS
Official Full Name: HRas proto-oncogene, GTPaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene belongs to the Ras oncogene family, whose members are related to the transforming genes of mammalian sarcoma retroviruses. The products encoded by these genes function in signal transduction pathways. These proteins can bind GTP and GDP, and they have intrinsic GTPase activity. This protein undergoes a continuous cycle of de- and re-palmitoylation, which regulates its rapid exchange between the plasma membrane and the Golgi apparatus. Mutations in this gene cause Costello syndrome, a disease characterized by increased growth at the prenatal stage, growth deficiency at the postnatal stage, predisposition to tumor formation, cognitive disability, skin and musculoskeletal abnormalities, distinctive facial appearance and cardiovascular abnormalities. Defects in this gene are implicated in a variety of cancers, including bladder cancer, follicular thyroid cancer, and oral squamous cell carcinoma. Multiple transcript variants, which encode different isoforms, have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

HRAS Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cell lines that have been genetically modified to disrupt the expression of the HRAS gene, which encodes a protein involved in critical cell signaling pathways that regulate cell division, differentiation, and growth. By knocking out the HRAS gene, these cell lines provide researchers with a powerful tool for studying the direct implications of HRAS signaling in various biological processes and disease states, particularly cancer, where HRAS is often found to be mutated or overexpressed.
The key function of these knockout cell lines lies in their ability to enable researchers to observe and quantify the effects of HRAS loss on cellular behaviors, including proliferation, apoptosis, and response to different stimuli. The mechanisms implemented in creating these lines typically involve CRISPR-Cas9 technology, which allows for precise editing of the genome, rendering the HRAS gene non-functional. This targeted approach not only promotes a deeper understanding of oncogenic processes but also aids in identifying potential therapeutic targets for cancer treatment.
From a scientific standpoint, HRAS Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable in preclinical research settings, where they facilitate investigations into the role of RAS signaling in tumorigenesis and response to therapies, providing insight into drug resistance mechanisms. Moreover, these cell lines serve as substantial models for evaluating the effectiveness of novel drugs designed to inhibit RAS activity, which is historically challenging.
