Ras protein [¦är¦ā′es ‚prō‚tēn]

(cell and molecular biology)

A GTPase that is part of a signaling cascade that controls cell growth; it turns itself off by hydrolyzing guanosine triphosphate (GTP) to guanosine diphosphate (GDP); however, if left in its active (GTP-bound) form, it can lead to uncontrollable cell growth, or cancer.
