Effects of ras and other proto-oncogenes on autoimmunity

Control and regulation of cell growth, development, and reproductive functions are provided by proteins encoded by proto-oncogene and tumor suppressor genes. Ras proteins are essential as a complement to cellular networks that control signaling pathways that regulate cell movement, cytoskeleton regulation, adhesion, differentiation, survival, and growth regulation. The relationship between autoimmune diseases and Ras and proto-oncogenes has gained importance in recent years. © 2022 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
