"The RAS protein subfamily is a subgroup of the RAS superfamily of proteins. These proteins are expressed in all cells involved in signal transmission."

Line 1:16 · 'RAS' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"The RAS proteins all have a similar 3D structure and a molecular weight of ~21 kDa. They play a key role in the signal transduction from the membrane to the nucleus. RAS proteins are GNP-binding proteins that function as on-off molecular switches to control intracellular signalling networks."

Colons
warning

"HRAS: Harvey rat sarcoma viral oncogene"

Line 5:12 · The first word after a colon should almost always be lowercase. In this case, it's not: ': Harvey rat'.

"KRAS: Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene"

Line 6:12 · The first word after a colon should almost always be lowercase. In this case, it's not: ': Kirsten rat'.
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"When RAS is switched on it switches on other proteins which ultimately result in turning on genes that result in an alteration in cell growth, differentiation and survival."

Line 2:139 · Use the Oxford comma in 'growth, differentiation and survival'.
There Is
suggestion

"There are three RAS genes involved in coding for the RAS protein subfamily:"

Line 3:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There are'.
