RAS is a very important protein that belongs to a class of protein referred to as GTPases and plays a crucial role in switching on pathways that control cell growth, proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation and migration. For RAS to become inactive it must hydrolyze GTP to GDP which slows down the process of cell proliferation. Mutation in one copies of RAS will result to cancer because the mutated copy will permanently attach to GTP and remain in activated form which will lead to uncontrollable cell division and hence development of cancer.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of nucleic protons, but different numbers of nucleic neutrons. This has the effect that they have a different mass number. However they have the same atomic number because that is a measure of how many protons are in the nucleus
