RIT1 (GTP-binding protein Rit1) is an enzyme. The public catalogues list it as a drug target and a biomarker, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Endometrial cancer and Non-small-cell lung cancer.
Plays a crucial role in coupling nerve growth factor (NGF) stimulation to the activation of both EPHB2 and MAPK14 signalling pathways and in NGF-dependent neuronal differentiation. Involved in ELK1 transactivation through the Ras-MAPK signalling cascade that mediates a wide variety of cellular functions, including cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. Recognised by LZTR1, which mediates its ubiquitination by a BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex.
CIViC holds 14 clinical evidence items and 0 assertions across 8 variants, naming Selumetinib and Pictilisib.

No product in this corpus aims at RIT1 yet. Inhibitors are shaped to fit the enzyme's active site so the reaction the cancer relies on stops.
Broadly expressed or essential: HPA finds the RNA at low tissue specificity; a medicine acting on the wild-type protein would expose normal tissue too. HPA RIT1: RNA low tissue specificity; high antibody staining in 10 normal tissues; highest cancer staining colorectal cancer (6 of 12 high). Distribution: 2 cancer families in the corpus carry a prevalence row, label threshold or catalogue link for it (Endometrial cancer, Lung cancer (all types)); Open Targets associates it with 0 specific cancer types at or above 0.5. (Rule 7 of scripts/fetch-target-specificity.ts.)
