IqgC is a RasGAP from Dictyostelium discoideum. IqgC binds RasG via its RasGAP domain and deactivates it on macroendocytic cups, thereby suppressing the uptake of fluid and particles. IqgC has a positive effect on cell‐substratum adhesion, and its RGCt domain is required for recruitment to ventral foci.

N-type calcium current, Cav2.2, is enhanced in small diameter sensory neurons isolated from Nf1+/− mice [PDF]
Major aspects of neuronal function are regulated by Ca2+ including neurotransmitter release, excitability, developmental plasticity, and gene expression. We reported previously that sensory neurons isolated from a mouse model with a heterozygous mutation

Abstract Background Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are aggressive soft tissue sarcomas with a 5‐year survival rate of approximately 50%, secondary to their metastatic potential and resistance to therapy. MPNSTs can arise sporadically, as a late toxicity from therapeutic radiotherapy, or in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).

Clonal lineage of high grade serous ovarian cancer in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is caused by mutations in the NF1 gene encoding neurofibromin, which negatively regulates Ras signaling. NF1 patients have an increased risk of developing early onset breast cancer, however, the association between NF1 and ...

Characterizing the immune microenvironment of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor by PD-L1 expression and presence of CD8+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. [PDF]
BackgroundMalignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is an aggressive sarcoma with few treatment options. Tumor immune state has not been characterized in MPNST, and is important in determining response to immune checkpoint blockade.

The NF1 somatic mutational landscape in sporadic human cancers [PDF]
Background Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1: Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) #162200) is an autosomal dominantly inherited tumour predisposition syndrome.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common autosomal-dominant disorder associated with attention deficits and learning disabilities. The primary known function of neurofibromin, encoded by the NF1 gene, is to downregulate Ras activity.

Preclinical Evidence for the Use of Sunitinib Malate in the Treatment of Plexiform Neurofibromas [PDF]
Plexiform neurofibromas (pNF) are pathognomonic nerve and soft tissue tumors of neurofibromatosis type I (NF1), which are highly resistant to conventional chemotherapy and associated with significant morbidity/mortality.
