Also known as Di-Ras1GBTS1RIG
Summary
DIRAS1 (DIRAS family GTPase 1, HGNC:19127) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.3, encoding GTP-binding protein Di-Ras1 (O95057). Displays low GTPase activity and exists predominantly in the GTP-bound form.
DIRAS1 belongs to a distinct branch of the functionally diverse Ras (see HRAS; MIM 190020) superfamily of monomeric GTPases.

Genetic regulation across tissues (GTEx eQTL / sQTL)
DIRAS1 is an eGene in GTEx v10 — its expression is genetically regulated (eQTL) in 18 tissues and its splicing (sQTL) in 0 (q < 0.05). Strongest associations first; slope = normalized effect of the lead variant’s alternative allele.
