Research summary

This study investigates the expression patterns of R-Ras1 and R-Ras2 in the central nervous system. Using transcriptomic and reporter analysis along with conditional Knockout models, the study demonstrates distinct regional and cell-type-specific expression profiles, suggesting non-redundant roles in CNS development and function.

Key outcome of the study

R-Ras1 and R-Ras2 exhibit different expression profiles in neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes, pointing to divergent functions in neural development and maintenance.

Model

Conditional Rras1 Knockout mouse model developed by genOway, allowing tissue-specific inactivation via Cre-loxP system. Used alongside Rras2 expression analysis to map roles in neural tissues.

TARGET:
Rras
