Protein attributes

Sequence length	189 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Ras proteins bind GDP/GTP and possess intrinsic GTPase activity.
Enzyme regulation	Alternate between an inactive form bound to GDP and an active form bound to GTP. Activated by a guanine nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF) and inactivated by a GTPase-activating protein (GAP).
Subcellular location	Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side By similarity. Golgi apparatus membrane; Lipid-anchor By similarity. Note: Shuttles between the plasma membrane and the Golgi apparatus By similarity.
Post-translational modification	Palmitoylated by the ZDHHC9-GOLGA7 complex. A continuous cycle of de- and re-palmitoylation regulates rapid exchange between plasma membrane and Golgi By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Ras family.
