SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane

	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,mitochondria,outer
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,Golgi
text	attached to the membrane by a lipid anchor, at internal side of plasma membrane
	associated with both the outer membrane and inner mitochondrial compartments
	membrane protein that shuttles between the golgi apparatus and the plasma membrane, shutlling regulated through palmitoylation and depalmitoylation (Rocks 2005)

basic FUNCTION	possessing intrinsic GTPase activity
	has an immune regulatory function and its absence or gain-of-function affects primarily hematopoietic cells
	having a farnesylation independent function and within the inner mitochondrial compartment being an essential component of the retrograde signaling system between the mitochondria and nucleus
	tumor type–specific mutation spectrum of Ras genesis dictated by their regulation of expression and that the altered Ras proteins that can be palmitoylated act as particularly potent oncoproteins

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule	nucleotide,
	GTP binding

protein	CHMP6 and VPS4A bound to NRAS but not KRAS
	DDX43 may promote NRAS protein expression by unwinding and stabilizing NRAS mRNA, therefore enhancing its translation
	LZTR1 facilitates polyubiquitination and degradation of RAS-GTPases MRAS, HRAS, NRAS, and KRAS
