The RASSF1A protein
The RASSF1A protein is a tumour suppressor required to control cell growth [1]. The protein can be found throughout the body, when expressed at normal levels. When not expressed at regular levels the protein is not able to carry out its role in cell growth control.
In this section I will look at the homology and phylogeny of the protein between humans and other model organisms. I will also discuss how the domains are conserved in each of the homologs. I will look at the potential post translational phosphorylation sites and finally look at the interaction network for the human protein and other homologs.
