Ras-interacting protein 1
Appearance
Ras-interacting protein 1 (Rain), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RASIP1 gene.[5]
Function
[edit]- It is required for the proper formation of vascular structures that develop via both vasculogenesis and angiogenesis.[6]
- Acts as a critical and vascular-specific regulator of GTPase signaling, cell architecture, and adhesion, which is essential for endothelial cell morphogenesis and blood vessel tubulogenesis.[7][8][9]
- Regulates the activity of Rho GTPases in part by recruiting ARHGAP29 and suppressing RhoA signaling and dampening ROCK and MYH9 activities in endothelial cells.[10][11]
Clinical significance
[edit]A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) has found that genetic variations in RASIP1 are associated with late-onset sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD). However, it's unknown how RASIP1 mutation contributes to disease.[12]
