Also known as TC21
Summary
RRAS2 (RAS related 2, HGNC:17271) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11p15.2, encoding Ras-related protein R-Ras2 (P62070). GTP-binding protein with GTPase activity, involved in the regulation of MAPK signaling pathway and thereby controlling multiple cellular processes.
This gene encodes a member of the R-Ras subfamily of Ras-like small GTPases. The encoded protein associates with the plasma membrane and may function as a signal transducer. This protein may play an important role in activating signal transduction pathways that control cell proliferation. Mutations in this gene are associated with the growth of certain tumors. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 1 and 2. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. GTP-binding protein with GTPase activity, involved in the regulation of MAPK signaling pathway and thereby controlling multiple cellular processes. Regulates craniofacial development.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with RASSF5.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Golgi apparatus membrane.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitously present in all tissues examined, with the highest levels in heart, placenta, and skeletal muscle. Moderate levels in lung and liver; low levels in brain, kidney, and pancreas.
Post-translational modifications. May be post-translationally modified by both palmitoylation and polyisoprenylation. Fatty-acylation at Lys-192, Lys-194; lys-196 and Lys-197 is required for localization to the plasma membrane and activity. Defatty-acylated by SIRT6, affecting its localization to the plasma membrane.
Disease relevance. Ovarian cancer (OC) [MIM:167000] The term ovarian cancer defines malignancies originating from ovarian tissue. Although many histologic types of ovarian tumors have been described, epithelial ovarian carcinoma is the most common form. Ovarian cancers are often asymptomatic and the recognized signs and symptoms, even of late-stage disease, are vague. Consequently, most patients are diagnosed with advanced disease. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Noonan syndrome 12 (NS12) [MIM:618624] A form of Noonan syndrome, a disease characterized by short stature, facial dysmorphic features such as hypertelorism, a downward eyeslant and low-set posteriorly rotated ears, and a high incidence of congenital heart defects and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Other features can include a short neck with webbing or redundancy of skin, deafness, motor delay, variable intellectual deficits, multiple skeletal defects, cryptorchidism, and bleeding diathesis. Individuals with Noonan syndrome are at risk of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by excessive production of myelomonocytic cells. NS12 inheritance is autosomal dominant. There is considerable variability in severity. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Ras family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 117 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
