Function
Involved in the transduction of mitogenic signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus. May also regulate the TOR signaling cascade. Phosphorylates PFKFB2 (PubMed:36402789). Isoform 2. Serves as a positive regulator of myogenic differentiation by inducing cell cycle arrest, the expression of myogenin and other muscle-specific proteins, and myotube formation.
Alternative names
ARAF1, PKS, PKS2, ARAF, Serine/threonine-protein kinase A-Raf, Proto-oncogene A-Raf, Proto-oncogene A-Raf-1, Proto-oncogene Pks

- Sequence similarities
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family. RAF subfamily.
- Post-translational modifications
Dephosphorylation of Ser-214 by the SHOC2-MRAS-PP1c (SMP) complex consisting of SHOC2, GTP-bound M-Ras/MRAS and the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1 (PPP1CA, PPP1CB or PPP1CC); this relieves inactivation and stimulates kinase activity.

- Activity summary
The A-Raf protein also called ARAF is a serine/threonine-protein kinase with a molecular mass of about 68 kDa. Scientists frequently refer to it with names like A-Raf or anti A-Raf when discussing its function. A-Raf is expressed in various tissues with higher levels found in the urogenital system and the central nervous system. This protein plays an important role in cellular signal transduction processes influencing cell proliferation and differentiation through phosphorylation activity.
- Biological function summary
The A-Raf protein participates in the regulation of cell growth and survival. It forms part of the MAPK/ERK signaling cascade which is essential for transmitting mitogenic signals from the cell surface to the nucleus. A-Raf acts as a modulator within this complex impacting the overall signaling output. The protein is intimately involved in the regulation of the developmental processes influencing cell fate and function.
- Pathways
The A-Raf protein is central to the MAPK/ERK pathway a critical signaling pathway involved in the regulation of cellular responses to growth signals. This pathway includes key components like the proteins B-Raf and C-Raf with A-Raf playing specific roles in the modulation and fine-tuning of this signal transmission. It helps mediate signals that control cell division differentiation and secretion ensuring appropriate cellular responses to external stimuli.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Aberrations in A-Raf functions have been linked to cancers particularly urogenital cancers due to its role in uncontrolled cell proliferation. Faulty A-Raf activity can also contribute to neurological disorders because of its expression in the central nervous system and involvement in neuronal signaling pathways. In these contexts it can interact with proteins like B-Raf which are important for maintaining normal cellular signaling and preventing tumorigenesis and neurodegenerative disorders.
