RERG sirna
RERG siRNA (Human)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
RERG, a member of the RAS superfamily of GTPases, inhibits cell proliferation and tumor formation (Finlin et al., 2001 [PubMed 11533059]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2009]
Uniprot Description
RERG: Binds GDP/GTP and possesses intrinsic GTPase activity. Has higher affinity for GDP than for GTP. In cell lines overexpression leads to a reduction in the rate of proliferation, colony formation and in tumorigenic potential. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Ras family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: G protein; G protein, monomeric, Ras; G protein, monomeric
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 12p12.3
Cellular Component: membrane; nucleus; cytosol
Molecular Function: GTPase activity; GDP binding; GTP binding; estrogen receptor binding
Biological Process: negative regulation of cell proliferation; metabolic process; small GTPase mediated signal transduction; response to hormone stimulus; negative regulation of cell growth
