BRAF is short for v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1.
BRAF is a human gene that codes for a protein called B-Raf. This protein is a serine/threonine kinase and plays a crucial role in the RAS/MAPK/ERK signaling pathway, which regulates cell growth, differentiation, and survival. Mutations in the BRAF gene can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and are associated with various cancers.
