{"symbol":"RIT1","synonyms":["RIBB","RIT","ROC1","NS8"],"name":"Ras-like without CAAX 1","description":"This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of Ras-related GTPases. The encoded protein is involved in regulating p38 MAPK-dependent signaling cascades related to cellular stress. This protein also cooperates with nerve growth factor to promote neuronal development and regeneration. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
