    basic FUNCTION
  • reverts active GTP-bound Ras into inactive GDP-bound form
  • involved in normal blood vessel development and required for cardiovascular system development
  • important role for RASA1 as a regulator of double-positive survival and positive selection in the thymus as well as naive T cell survival in the periphery
  • important role for RASA1 in the recycling of endocytosed alpha/beta1-integrin heterodimers to the plasma membrane
  • Ras GTPase-activating protein that functions as a regulator of blood vessel growth in adult
  • role for RASA1 as a physiological negative regulator of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) growth that maintains the lymphatic vasculature in a quiescent functional state through its ability to inhibit RAS signal transduction
  • RASA1 is a regulator of multiple aspects of ciliogenesis, including apical trafficking of basal bodies and the localization and dynamics intraflagellar transport proteins
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
  • EPHB4/RASA1/MTOR signaling in endothelial cells promotes vascular malformation
  • a component
  • part of PTK2-RASA1-GRLF1 complex that regulates polarity in migrating cells
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • GNB2L1
  • association with GRLF1, through integrin signaling that activates GRLF1
  • interacts and extensively colocalizes with DLC1 in focal adhesions (negative regulator of DLC1 Rho-GAP activity)
  • NCK1 is the regulator of RASA1 activity
  • interacted with the cytoplasmic domain of integrin alpha-subunits via its GAP domain and competed with RAB21 for binding to endocytosed integrins
  • EPHA1 signal facilitates IGF1-induced myogenesis by suppressing the RAS-ERK1/2 cascade through RASA1 in myoblast cell lines
  • PTPN11 participates in GH-induced RAS/ERK1/2 activation by dephosphorylating GAB1 on its RASA1 binding sites
  • RASA1 is required for appropriate cytoplasmic localization of the retrograde IFT-A protein IFT43
  • NIBAN2 phosphorylation increased the interaction between NIBAN2 and RAS, resulting in reduced binding of RASA1 to RAS
