| HGNC Family | Ras small GTPases superfamily |
| 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. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012] |

{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nRIT1 is emerging as a key regulator in developmental disorders, most notably in Noonan syndrome and related RASopathies. Germline gain‐of‐function mutations in RIT1 have been shown to dysregulate RAS–MAPK signaling, contributing to the characteristic facial dysmorphism, congenital heart defects (including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and, in rare cases, coronary anomalies), and other systemic manifestations seen in these patients. Studies in cellular and zebrafish models demonstrate that mutant RIT1 enhances downstream transactivation (e.g., of ELK1) and perturbs normal heart and craniofacial development, thereby recapitulating the Noonan phenotype."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "13"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn addition to its role in developmental disorders, RIT1 functions as an oncogenic driver in a subset of cancers.
