A-Raf is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell signaling and regulation. It is part of the Raf family of serine/threonine kinases, which are involved in the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. This pathway is important for various cellular processes, including growth, differentiation, and survival. A-Raf is primarily expressed in the brain and testis, and it can influence cell proliferation and apoptosis. Abnormal activity of A-Raf has been linked to certain types of cancer, making it a potential target for therapeutic interventions. Understanding A-Raf's functions can help in developing treatments for diseases associated with its dysregulation.
