General description

c-K-Ras or KRAS (kirsten rat sarcoma-2 virus oncogene) is a small GTP-binding protein. It is located on human chromosome 12p12.1. KRAS has two splice variants, such as KRASA and KRASB (KRAS proto-oncogenes). Expression of KRASA is restricted to specific tissues whereas KRASB is expressed everywhere .

Specificity

The antibody reacts with c-K-Ras and v-K-Ras p21. It crossreacts with cH-Ras and cN-Ras p21 on immunoblots.

Immunogen

recombinant p21 protein

Application

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Western Blotting (1 paper)

Biochem/physiol Actions

KRAS (kirsten rat sarcoma-2 virus oncogene) mutation leads to poor prognosis of early rectal cancer.

Physical form

Solution in 0.05 M sodium phosphate buffer, pH7.5, containing 0.2% gelatin and < 0.1% sodium azide

Preparation Note

Purified using protein A or G
