| ncRNA Symbol: | RHEB | | Full Name: | Ras homolog, mTORC1 binding | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | RHEB2 | | Chromosome: | chr7 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 151466012 | End Site(bp): | 151520120 | | | Gene Summary: | This gene is a member of the small GTPase superfamily and encodes a lipid-anchored, cell membrane protein with five repeats of the RAS-related GTP-binding region. This protein is vital in regulation of growth and cell cycle progression due to its role in the insulin/TOR/S6K signaling pathway. The protein has GTPase activity and shuttles between a GDP-bound form and a GTP-bound form, and farnesylation of the protein is required for this activity. Three pseudogenes have been mapped, two on chromosome 10 and one on chromosome 22. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] | | External Links: | |
