This regulatory function involves the suppression of excessive cell proliferation and differentiation. Alternate names for neurofibromin include NF1 or neurofibromin 1. The mass of neurofibromin is approximately 327 kDa. Neurofibromin is expressed widely across various tissues with notable expression in the nervous system and the brain.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nNeurofibromin regulates pathways involved in cell growth and development. It does not form part of a large multiprotein complex but interacts with microtubules and other signaling proteins to carry out its regulatory functions. Neurofibromin primarily affects pathways that manage cell cycle progression and it plays a critical role in inhibiting uncontrolled cell growth ensuring proper cellular homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nNeurofibromin fits into the Ras-MAPK pathway where it controls the activity of Ras an important regulatory protein involved in signal transduction related to cell division and differentiation. Neurofibromin's action on Ras directly impacts the activation of the MAPK pathway which is important in mediating cellular responses to growth signals. This protein also interacts functionally with proteins like SOS1 another regulator of Ras emphasizing its role in fine-tuning signal cascades that ensure balanced cellular function.\u003cbr\u003e\nNeurofibromin's dysregulation is most commonly associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 a genetic disorder characterized by the development of benign tumors in the nervous system. The loss of neurofibromin function leads to unregulated Ras activity resulting in tumorigenesis. Additionally neurofibromin is implicated in certain sporadic cancers due to its role in controlling cell proliferation. In neurofibromatosis type 1 interactions between neurofibromin and proteins such as p53 a known tumor suppressor highlight its significance in disease pathways and tumor suppression mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855875985577,"sku":"ab238142","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab238142","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
