This gene, a Kirsten ras oncogene homolog from the mammalian ras gene family, encodes a protein that is a member of the small GTPase superfamily. A single amino acid substitution is responsible for an activating mutation. The transforming protein that results is implicated in various malignancies, including lung adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenoma, ductal carcinoma of the pancreas and colorectal carcinoma. Alternative splicing leads to variants encoding two isoforms that differ in the C-terminal region. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

Recapitulate disease phenotypes

Endogenous knock-in cell lines enable a clear understanding of a gene or mutation’s contribution to a phenotype including conditional knockouts to model human disease

Confirm your results

We provide truly isogenic cell line pairs. Each cell model comes with the parental cell line as an additional control

Knockout and knock-in models

Our knock in models have more complex genetic modifications such as:

  • insertions
  • base pair changes
  • deletions
  • truncations
  • FLAG-tagged proteins for purification

Proven models

Our catalog of cell lines has become a gold-standard resourceciteab-award-cell-line-supplier-to-watch-in-cancer-research in antibody validation, cancer research, and early drug-discovery research. Horizon was recently recognized by CiteAb as the Cell Line Supplier to Watch in Cancer Research for 2024. Read more about the CiteAb award.
