Description: Displacement of [3H]PDBu from the DAG-responsive C1 domain of recombinant RasGRP1.
Immunopharmacology Comments
RAS guanyl releasing protein 1 (RASGRP1) functions as a diacylglycerol (DAG)-regulated nucleotide exchange factor. It activates Ras and the downstream Erk/MAP kinase cascade. RASGRP1 regulates the development, homeostasis and differentiation of T aand B cells [2,7,10], and has been linked to NK cell development and function [4,10]. Loss-of-function mutations in RASGRP1 have been identified in patients with early onset primary immunodeficiency and a predisposition to lymphoproliferative disease [5-6,11-12]. Autoimmune pathology has also been reported as a consequence of defective RASGRP1 function [3,13].[9].

Gene Expression and Pathophysiology Comments
Biallelic loss-of-function mutations in RASGRP1 have been identified in patients presenting with early onset primary immunodeficiency and a predisposition to lymphoproliferative disease ( e.g. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated B cell lymphoma) [5-6,11-12].
