Name Ras
Type gene
Species Homo sapiens
Tissue normal diploid human IMR90 fibroblasts
Experiment Method other
Up/Down NA
Pro/Anti Pro
Funtion Description In summary, our data demonstrate that oncogenic Ras promotes premature senescence through activation of the MAPK cascade. Ras is initially mitogenic but eventually induces premature senescence involving the p53 and p16INK4a tumor suppressors. Constitutive
