Also known as Maxp1, NORE1, NORE1A, NORE1B, RAPL, RASSF3, Ras association domain family member 5

Ras association domain-containing protein 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RASSF5 or F5 gene.

Gene data

RASSF5

Name: Ras association domain family member 5
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: Maxp1, NORE1, NORE1A, NORE1B, RAPL

This gene is a member of the Ras association domain family. It functions as a tumor suppressor, and is inactivated in a variety of cancers. The encoded protein localizes to centrosomes and microtubules, and associates with the GTP-activated forms of Ras, Rap1, and several other Ras-like small GTPases. The protein regulates lymphocyte adhesion and suppresses cell growth in response to activated Rap1 or Ras. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
