how RAS-MAPK does contribute to gene transcription for growthRas proteins are G-proteins linked to receptor tyrosine kinases in the cell membrane.
Ras-GTP causes a cascade of reactions within the cell, eventually initiating mitogen-activating protein kinase (MAPK). pharmacologyoncology HirotoShishido
