Gene Description

Kras encodes KRas, a Ras-family small GTPase that functions as a lipid-anchored nucleotide switch. KRas cycles between inactive GDP-bound and active GTP-bound states, hydrolyzes GTP to GDP and phosphate, and transmits receptor-derived signals primarily from cytoplasmic membrane surfaces to RAF-MAPK and PI3K-AKT-mTOR effector pathways. Developmental and cancer phenotypes reflect perturbation of this core Ras signaling switch rather than separate primary molecular functions.

UNDECIDED
Summary: MGI made this IDA from the full text of PMID:12354753; only the abstract is cached here, and it reports K-Ras p21 protein levels and GTP-loading at confluence without describing a membrane-tethering assay.
Reason: The supporting evidence cannot be verified from the abstract-only cache, so the curator's experimental call is not overruled. Protein-membrane adaptor activity is an unusual molecular function for KRAS (which is itself lipid-anchored rather than an adaptor tethering other proteins), and full text is needed to confirm what was assayed.

Summary: Supported as part of the core KRAS small-GTPase switch, membrane localization, or proximal Ras/MAPK signaling output.
Reason: Core Ras-family GTPase switch and membrane-proximal signaling role
Supporting Evidence:
UniProt:P32883
Ras proteins bind GDP/GTP and possess intrinsic GTPase activity. Plays an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation.

Core Functions

Functions as a Ras-family nucleotide switch by binding GTP/GDP and hydrolyzing GTP to GDP, with active KRAS-GTP engaging downstream effectors.

Supporting Evidence:
