gene: ral-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable GDP binding activity; GTP binding activity; and GTPase activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; multivesicular body assembly; and positive regulation of vulval development. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Expressed in several structures, including excretory canal; germ line; tail; vulva; and vulval precursor cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Is an ortholog of human RALA (RAS like proto-oncogene A).
