HTRF KRAS G12C / SOS1 Binding Kit, 10,000 Assay Points

A fast and easy way to identify new inhibitors of KRAS G12C/SOS1 protein interactions.KRAS is a small GTPase implicated ous 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 GTPases, KRAS binds to GDP in its inactive form or binds to GTP to switch into active form. KRAS G12C is one of the most commonly present 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 ction leads to cancer phenotypes. ying new KRAS/SOS1 inhibitors or GTP competitors refore the two major ies rol biological processes involved in cancer growth, by reducing the KRAS activity as well as the associated pathways.
