Test Neurofibromin Activity in a Cell

The NF1 gene codes for neurofibromin. Neurofibromin interrelates and regulates the function of a protein called Ras, which promotes cell division.  This site provided by The University of Utah’s Genetic Science Learning Center includes information about the NF1 gene, neurofibromin and Ras and a simulation that allows one to observe how mutated neurofibromin interacts with Ras....
