FAR1
Description
The FAR1 gene encodes a protein that plays a critical role in regulating cell growth and development. FAR1 protein functions as a negative regulator of the RAS signaling pathway, a crucial pathway involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. By inhibiting RAS activity, FAR1 helps to control cell growth and prevent uncontrolled proliferation, which can lead to cancer. FAR1 also interacts with other proteins involved in cell cycle regulation, further contributing to its role in maintaining normal cell growth and development.
