Raf-B(Phospho Ser446) Polyclonal Antibody

This gene encodes a protein belonging to the raf/mil family of serine/threonine protein kinases. This protein plays a role in regulating the MAP kinase/ERKs signaling pathway| which affects cell division| differentiation| and secretion. Mutations in this gene are associated with cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome| a disease characterized by heart defects| mental retardation and a distinctive facial appearance. Mutations in this gene have also been associated with various cancers| including non-Hodgkin lymphoma| colorectal cancer| malignant melanoma| thyroid carcinoma| non-small cell lung carcinoma| and adenocarcinoma of lung. A pseudogene| which is located on chromosome X| has been identified for this gene.
