NF1 Stimulates the GTPase activity of Ras. NF1 shows greater affinity for Ras GAP, but lower specific activity. May be a regulator of Ras activity. Detected in brain, peripheral nerve, lung, colon and muscle. 2 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
