Why do mammals have an additional RCE1 isoform?

Queen’s University Belfast

School of Pharmacy

Research Group: Nanomedicine and biotherapeutics

Ras converting enzyme (RCE) 1 is involved in the processing, proper localisation, and function of multiple ‘CaaX’ proteins. Through our work we have identified a novel isoform of RCE1 (RCE1 isoform 2) which we found to be pivotal for the proper processing and localisation of H-Ras. Read more
