General description

RASSF1, also known as Ras association domain-containing protein 1, and encoded by the gene RASSF1/RDA32, is an important cell cycle and cell proliferation regulator protein. RASSF1 acts as a tumor suppressor and operates within the death receptor dependent apoptotic pathways. Additionally, RASSF1 inhibits proliferation at the G1/S boundary by regulating the accumulation of cyclin D1 protein. RASSF1 is localized to the cytoplasm and cytoskeleton depending upon cellular environment. RASSF1 localizes to cytoplasmic microtubules during interphase, to bipolar centrosomes associated with microtubules during prophase, to spindle fibers and spindle poles at metaphase and anaphase, to the midzone during early telophase, and to the midbody in late telophase in cells. The protein also co-localizes with MDM2 in the nucleus. RASSF1 is expressed in multiple isoforms but in generally it is ubiquitously expressed but down regulated in cancer and tumor cells.
