HRASLS3, a tumor suppressor, plays a role in cell death and belongs to the class II tumor suppressor gene family. It is involved in regulating cell differentiation and survival. HRASLS3 protein is found in various human tumors, such as ovarian and lung carcinomas.
HRASLS3 belongs to the class II tumor suppressor gene family and is involved in the regulation of cell differentiation and survival . It is known to participate in interferon-dependent cell death, which is a critical mechanism for controlling tumor growth and progression . The protein is expressed in various human tumors, including ovarian and lung carcinomas .
The exact molecular mechanisms by which HRASLS3 exerts its tumor-suppressive effects are still under investigation. However, it is believed to be involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism due to its phospholipase A2 activity . This activity allows HRASLS3 to hydrolyze phospholipids, which can influence membrane dynamics and signaling pathways critical for cell survival and proliferation .
Given its role in tumor suppression, HRASLS3 is a protein of interest in cancer research. Its expression patterns and functional mechanisms are being studied to develop potential therapeutic strategies for cancers where HRASLS3 is implicated . Additionally, the recombinant form of HRASLS3 is used in various research applications to further understand its biological functions and potential clinical applications .
