<prompt> Answer this question truthfullyWith what type of receptors is the signal transducer Ras normally associated, and in what state is it found?  <response>: <reason> The signal transducer Ras is normally associated with Growth Factor Receptors, and it is found in an inactive GDP-bound state. Ras is a small GTPase protein that plays a critical role in transmitting signals from activated receptors to downstream signaling pathways. When a growth factor receptor is activated by binding to its ligand, it triggers a series of biochemical events that ultimately lead to the activation of Ras. This activation involves the exchange of GDP for GTP, which causes a conformational change in Ras that allows it to interact with downstream effectors and initiate signaling cascades. However, in the absence of receptor activation, Ras remains in its inactive GDP-bound state and cannot initiate signaling.
