Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Ras (mutated Q61R) antibody [SP174] (AB227658)

IHC image of NRAS (mutated Q61R) staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human skin melanoma* performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with EDTA buffer (pH9, epitope retrieval solution 2) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab227658, 1/100 dilution, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Supplementary information

The Ras protein also known by its alternate names such as KRAS NRAS and HRAS functions as a small GTPase which is a type of enzyme that binds to guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and can switch to an inactive form when it hydrolyzes GTP to GDP. Ras proteins are encoded by genes located in different chromosomes and typically have a molecular weight of about 21 kDa. These proteins are expressed in various tissues throughout the body where they play key roles in cellular signaling.
Biological function summary

Ras proteins are pivotal in regulating cell proliferation differentiation and survival. They are often part of larger protein complexes that facilitate signal transduction across cell membranes. These proteins function as binary molecular switches toggling between active (GTP-bound) and inactive (GDP-bound) states. Mutations in Ras proteins such as NRAS Q61R can lead the protein to assume permanently active conformations disrupting normal cellular signaling processes and contributing to oncogenesis.

Pathways

Ras proteins play significant roles in the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways. Their activation leads to a cascade of phosphorylation events that ultimately regulate gene expression. Within these pathways Ras proteins interact with various molecules including RAF kinases and the PI3K protein further illustrating their complex roles in signal propagation. These pathways control many cellular processes including growth differentiation and survival illustrating how Ras proteins integrate multiple signals to modulate cellular outcomes.

Ras proteins are frequently implicated in various cancers notably pancreatic and colorectal cancers. Mutated forms of Ras such as KRAS G12V drive oncogenesis by promoting uncontrolled cell growth and division. In cancer pathology Ras often interacts with tumor suppressor proteins influencing the disease progression. Targeting Ras-mediated signaling pathways using approaches like pan-Ras inhibitors or chemiluminescence ELISAs represents an ongoing area of therapeutic research aimed at combating Ras-driven malignancies.
