NCBI: 17q11.2    Ensembl: 17q11.2
NF1_HUMANSize: 2839 amino acidsMass: 319372 Da

  • Tissue specificity: Detected in brain, peripheral nerve, lung, colon and muscle [IMAGE] Pathway & Disease-focused RT2 Profiler PCR Arrays including NF1 (see all 6): cAMP / Ca2+ Signaling PathwayFinder in human mouse rat Oncogenes & Tumor Suppressor Genes in human mouse rat N
  • Function:
    UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary: NF1_HUMAN, P21359 Function: Stimulates the GTPase activity of Ras. NF1 shows greater affinity for Ras GAP, but lower specific activity. May be a regulator of Ras activity
  • Similarity:
    Contains 1 CRAL-TRIO domain
                          
    Contains 1 Ras-GAP domain [IMAGE]

    Disorder & Mutation    
    Source Disease
    Genatlasneurofibromatosis 1 (von Recklinghausen disease),characterized by cafe au lait spots,axillary freckling,Lisch nodules of the iris,multiple neurofibromas,tibial pseudarthrosis and a predisposition to certain benign and malignant tumors of the central and peripheral nervous system,with a variable expression even among relatives with the same mutation and apparently an earlier onset or a more severe form associated with deletions,including neurofibrosarcoma (see TSG17C),Watson disease (cafe au lait spots with pulmonic stenosis)
    SWISS-PROTNeurofibromatosis-Noonan syndrome (NFNS) [MIM:601321]: Characterized by manifestations of both NF1 and Noonan syndrome (NS). NS is a disorder characterized by dysmorphic facial features, short stature, hypertelorism, cardiac anomalies, deafness, motor delay, and a bleeding diathesis. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry
    SWISS-PROTFamilial spinal neurofibromatosis (FSNF) [MIM:162210]: Considered to be an alternative form of neurofibromatosis, showing multiple spinal tumors. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry
    SWISS-PROTWatson syndrome (WS) [MIM:193520]: A syndrome characterized by the presence of pulmonary stenosis, cafe-au-lait spots, and mental retardation. It is considered as an atypical form of neurofibromatosis. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry
    SWISS-PROTNeurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) [MIM:162200]: A disease characterized by patches of skin pigmentation (cafe-au-lait spots), Lisch nodules of the iris, tumors in the peripheral nervous system and fibromatous skin tumors. Individuals with the disorder have increased susceptibility to the development of benign and malignant tumors. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry
    SWISS-PROTLeukemia, juvenile myelomonocytic (JMML) [MIM:607785]: An aggressive pediatric myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative disorder characterized by malignant transformation in the hematopoietic stem cell compartment with proliferation of differentiated progeny. Patients have splenomegaly, enlarged lymph nodes, rashes, and hemorrhages. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry
