{"symbol":"RALA","synonyms":["RAL"],"name":"v-ral simian leukemia viral oncogene homolog A (ras related)","description":"The product of this gene belongs to the small GTPase superfamily, Ras family of proteins. GTP-binding proteins mediate the transmembrane signaling initiated by the occupancy of certain cell surface receptors. This gene encodes a low molecular mass ras-like GTP-binding protein that shares about 50% similarity with other ras proteins.
