BRAF: v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1, also known as BRAF1; RAFB1; B-RAF1; FLJ95109.
Entrez Protein NP_004324.
It is the main effectors recruited by GTP- bound Ras to activate the MEK-MAP kinase pathway.
B-Raf contains three consensus Akt phosphorylationsites (Ser364, Ser428, and Thr439).
B-Raf is a key regulatory molecule of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK), it has a long N-terminal region, the region is essential for homo-dimerization of B-Raf and hetero-dimerization of B-Raf and c- Raf at the plasma membrane, followed by phosphorylation of Thr118 in the N-terminal B-Raf-specific region.
Notably, in calcium ionophore-stimulated HeLa cells, B-Raf could propagate signals to MEK under the basal level of GTP Ras.
Expression of Raf-B is highly restricted with highestlevels in the cerebrum and testes and defects in braf are involved in a wide range of cancers.
The BRAF gene mutation is frequently detected in papillary thyroid carcinoma, melanocytic nevi, primary cutaneous melanomas and colorectal cancers.
