how does the protein encoded by the ras oncogene differ from the protein encoded by the normal ras gene?

Respuesta :

The protein encoded by the ras oncogene is unable to hydrolyze GTP where the protein encoded by the normal ras gene can hydrolyze GTP.

An oncogene is a gene that has undergone mutation and may be carcinogenic. A proto-oncogene, which controls regular cell division, is an oncogene that has not yet undergone mutation. A gene that has the capacity to cause cancer is referred to as an oncogene. These genes are frequently altered or highly expressed in tumour cells.

Being involved in the regulation of almost all cellular processes,  hydrolyze GTP is a biologically significant reaction. Therefore, one of the most crucial pharmacological targets is the enzyme that catalyses this process.  hydrolyze GTP is a fundamental biological activity that controls practically all cellular functions.
