N-ras proto-onkogen je član Ras porodice gena. Mapira se na hromosomu 1 i aktivira u HL60, liniji promijelocitne leukemije. Redoslijed obližnjih gena je sljedeći: cen—CD2—NGFB—NRAS—tel.
Porodica sisarskih ras gena sastoji se od harvey i kirsten ras gena (HRAS i KRAS), neaktivnog pseudogena svakog (c-Hras2 i c-Kras1) i N-ras gena. Značajno se razlikuju samo u 40 C-terminalnihaminokiselina. Ovi ras geni imaju GTP/GDP vezu i aktivnost GTPaze, a njihova normalna funkcija može biti kao G-slični regulatorni proteini uključeni u normalnu kontrolu rasta ćelija.
N-ras gen specificira dva glavna transkripta od 2Kb i 4.3Kb. Razlika između ova dva transkripta je jednostavno proširenje kroz mjesto završetka 2Kb transkripta. N-ras gen se sastoji od sedam egzona (I, I, II, III, IV, V, VI). Manji transkript od 2Kb sadrži VIa egzon, a veći, od 4,3Kb, sadrži VIb egzon koji je samo duži oblik VIa egzona. Oba transkripta kodiraju identične proteine jer se razlikuju samo u 3' neprevedenoi regiji.[4]
Mutacije
Mutacije koje mijenjaju aminokiselinske ostatke 12, 13 ili 61 aktiviraju potencijal N-ras za transformaciju kultiviranih ćelija i uključene su u različite ljudske tumore[4] npr. melanom.
Kao cilj lijekova
Binimetinib (MEK162) je imao kliničko ispitivanje faze III za NRAS Q61 mutant melanoma.[5]
