The RAF family of signaling proteins has three isoforms: A RAF, RAF 1 and B RAF. These proteins are instrumental in forwarding the stimulus generated by mitogens from monomeric G proteins to the MAP kinase pathway. RAF 1 is known to be downstream of Ras and binds to it by an N terminal noncatalytic domain. This domain is conserved in A RAF and B RAF. 14-3-3 is also known to be an activator of RAFs. Activated RAF directly phosphorylates and activates MEK. A RAF is expressed at a very high concentration in urogenital and kidney tissues.
Function:
Involved in the transduction of mitogenic signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus.
Tissue Specificity:
Predominantly in urogenital tissues.
Similarity:
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family. RAF subfamily.
Contains 1 phorbol-ester/DAG-type zinc finger.
Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
Contains 1 RBD (Ras-binding) domain.
