Target Information

The Ras-encoded family of proteins bind GDP and GTP with high affinity and possess low intrinsic GTPase activity, which increases significantly upon interaction with cytosolic GTPase activating protein (GAP). Members include H-Ras, K-Ras, N-Ras, M-Ras, R-Ras, ERas, Rheb, TC21, RASL11B, and Rad (Ras associated with diabetes) GTPase.

Rad GTPase is a GTP-binding protein similar to Ras but with unique characteristics. Unlike other small GTPases, Rad GTPase lacks typical prenylation motifs at its C-terminus. It binds calmodulin, inhibits vascular lesion formation, exhibits low intrinsic GTPase activity, and cannot be stimulated by known GAP molecules. Rad GTPase is expressed in skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and lung tissues, and is overexpressed in skeletal muscle tissue of individuals with type II diabetes.
