HTRF KRAS WT/SOS1 PPI KIT - 500 PTS

A fast and easy way to identify new inhibitors of KRAS WT / SOS1 protein interactions.KRAS is a small GTPase implicated in various biological processes, such as cell proliferation, cell survival, and cell metabolism. This proto-oncogene is well known to be mutated in many cancer subtypes, inducing an uncontrolled proliferation and cell metabolism modifications. It thereby contributes to the Warburg effect in cancer cells. Like the majority of small GTPase, KRAS binds to GDP in its inactive form or binds to GTP to switch into the active form. KRAS G12C is one of the most commonly represented mutant forms in cancer, which leads to a permanently active state of KRAS. The Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factor, also called SOS1, is a GEF protein promoting the active form of KRAS. The upregulation of the KRAS / SOS1 interaction leads to cancer phenotypes.
