ras-c2

KRAS (Kirsten rat sarcoma virus) is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein called K-Ras, a part of the RAS/MAPK pathway. The protein relays signals from outside the cell to the cell's nucleus. These signals instruct the cell to grow and divide (proliferate) or to mature and take on specialized functions (differentiate). It is called KRAS because it was first identified as a viral oncogene in the Kirsten RAt Sarcoma virus. The oncogene identified was derived from a cellular genome, so KRAS, when found in a cellular genome, is called a proto-oncogene.
The K-Ras protein is a GTPase, a class of enzymes which convert the nucleotide guanosine triphosphate (GTP) into guanosine diphosphate (GDP). In this way the K-Ras protein acts like a switch that is turned on and off by the GTP and GDP molecules. To transmit signals, it must be turned on by attaching (binding) to a molecule of GTP. The K-Ras protein is turned off (inactivated) when it converts the GTP to GDP. When the protein is bound to GDP, it does not relay signals to the cell's nucleus.
The gene product of KRAS, the K-Ras protein, was first found as a p21 GTPase. Like other members of the ras subfamily of GTPases, the K-Ras protein is an early player in many signal transduction pathways. K-Ras is usually tethered to cell membranes because of the presence of an isoprene group on its C-terminus. There are two protein products of the KRAS gene in mammalian cells that result from the use of alternative exon 4 (exon 4A and 4B respectively): K-Ras4A and K-Ras4B. These proteins have different structures in their C-terminal region and use different mechanisms to localize to cellular membranes, including the plasma membrane.

    Danfoss RAS-C2 gland replacement - quick question

    Hi guys. Very specific question... Got a RAS-C2 where the pin will only move a fraction of a mil and no amount of the usual tapping/WD40 will help. So looking to change the gland rather than the whole TRV. Has anyone here changed a RAS-C2 gland before? There doesn't seem to be anything to grip...

    Danfoss RAS-C2 10mm swapping out

    I’m planning to drain down my system to replace the 3 way valve which has been buzzing away for months and occasionally sticking. While I’ve got the radiators drained I was hoping to also swap out a TRV which has been unreliable since it was first fitted a few years ago. All the other TRVs are...

    How to take off this Danfoss Ras-C2 TRV?

    I know this is a danfoss ras-c2, pic attached, but how do I take it off? The reason why I want to is because it's not isolating the radiator. Have completely closed the lockshield valve but even with the TRV at 0 (past frost setting) it still lets radiator fill so I want to take TRV and check...
