RASGRP1 blocking peptide
RASGRP1 Peptide - middle region
Target Description: This gene is a member of a family of genes characterized by the presence of a Ras superfamily guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) domain. It functions as a diacylglycerol (DAG)-regulated nucleotide exchange factor specifically activating Ras through the exchange of bound GDP for GTP. It activates the Erk/MAP kinase cascade and regulates T-cells and B-cells development, homeostasis and differentiation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. Altered expression of the different isoforms of this protein may be a cause of susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Uniprot Description
RASGRP1: Functions as a diacylglycerol (DAG)-regulated nucleotide exchange factor specifically activating Ras through the exchange of bound GDP for GTP. Activates the Erk/MAP kinase cascade. Couples T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes antigen receptors to the activation of Ras. Hence, regulates T-cells and B-cells development, homeostasis and differentiation. Functions also in FcERI-evoked degranulation and cytokine secretion by mast cells, regulating allergic responses. May also function in other cell types differentiation. Defects in RASGRP1 may contribute to susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE is a chronic, inflammatory and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue. It affects principally the skin, joints, kidneys and serosal membranes. SLE is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. Aberrantly spliced isoforms and/or diminished levels of RASGRP1 are found in a cohort of SLE patients raising the possibility that dysregulation of this signaling protein contributes to the development of autoimmunity in a subset of SLE patients. Belongs to the RASGRP family. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
