When was Oncogene - journal - created?
Oncogene - journal - was created in 1987.
How does a protooncogene converted into an oncogene?
A proto-oncogene is normally converted to an oncogene by mutation of the gene that encodes the proto-oncogene. Often, this leads to de-regulation of the proto-oncogenes activity and typically abarrent signal transduction in the cell, which may lead to cellular transformation.
What is pro- oncogene?
An oncogene is a gene, when mutated or expressed at high levels it helps turn a normal cell into a tumor cell.
What is the term for a cancer gene?
Oncogene.
How does a proto-oncogene differ from an oncogene?
Compare with a virus: dormant to active, potential to kinetic, potent(ial) to actual. The proto-oncogene may become a cancer-causing oncogene only under very specific conditions and may, under other conditions, just as well lay dormant.
A mutant of a regulatory gene that causes cancer?
oncogene
An oncogene is?
any gene that is a causative factor in the initiation of cancerous growth
A gene having the potential to trigger cancerous changes in a cell?
oncogene
What gene cause cancer when present in a single copy in a cell?
oncogene
What process is the protein product of the Ras proto oncogene involved in?
you will have to be more specific There is a point mutation in the k-ras oncogene, and about 60% have a mutation in the p53 so you can develop cancer in the colon by many polyps.
What is a mutation that forms an oncogene that changes normal cells into cancerous cells?
to a gene
What is the p35 cancer gene?
tumor suppresser gene that could turn into an oncogene
