To determine the impact of the KrasC118S mutation on carcinogenesis, we assessed the effect of treating Kras+/+, Kras+/C118S, and KrasC118S/C118S mice with the carcinogen urethane (ethyl carbamate), which induces lung tu
[Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC4234187 Section: RESULTS PassageIndex: 9
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Functional
Justification: Oncogenic: The passage discusses the KrasC118S mutation in the context of its role in carcinogenesis and tumor development, particularly in relation to urethane-induced lung tumors characterized by oncogenic Q61R/L mutations in Kras. Functional: The passage implies that the KrasC118S mutation alters the molecular behavior of Kras in the context of tumorigenesis, as it is assessed for its impact on carcinogenesis and tumor development.
