H-Ras is a small monomeric GTPase protein that is found inside of cells. It helps regulate cell division in cells through signal transduction pathways such as the Ras pathway. H-Ras is also known as a molecular switch, it contains two switch regions: Switch I and Switch II. Switch I is a Thymine 35 and switch II is a Glycine 60, both of these switches depend on the phosphate group on a GTP molecule to turn “on” and “off”. In the Ras catalytic cycle, Ras is activated when it attaches to a GTP molecule turning both switch regions “on”. This pathway also involves GTPase activating protein, which hydrolyzes the GTP attached to the Ras causing the switches to turn “off”.
