Ras-related protein Ral-A (RalA) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RALA gene on chromosome 7.^[5]^[6] This protein is one of two paralogs of the Ral protein, the other being RalB, and part of the Ras GTPase family.^[7] RalA functions as a molecular switch to activate a number of biological processes, majorly cell division and transport, via signaling pathways.^[7]^[8]^[9] Its biological role thus implicates it in many cancers.^[9]
