Gene:
DIRAS family, GTP-binding RAS-like 3
Gene ID:
192667
Symbol:
DIRAS3
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene is a member of the ras superfamily, and is expressed in normal ovarian and breast epithelial cells but not in ovarian and breast cancers. It is a maternally imprinted gene and its expression is associated with growth suppression. Thus, this gene appears to be a putative tumor suppressor gene whose function is abrogated in ovarian and breast cancers.
