<prompt> In the mitogen activated protein kinase pathway, the activation of RAS is counteracted by:Protein kinase CGTPase activating proteinPhosphatidyl inositolInositol triphosphate  <response>: Activated RAS is present in association with GTP. Enzyme GTPase will degrade GTP to GDP and result in inactivation of ras. Thus, GTPase activating protein will counteract the activation of ras.
