Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The function of Csk as tumor-suppressor gene or a proto-oncogene is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Tumor suppressor genes that are responsible for regulating cell growth and division, repair DNA, and regulates apoptosis. Any mutation in the tumor suppressor gene can lead to uncontrolled cell division, ultimately resulting in cancer. Any normal gene upon mutation leading to a cause of cancer is termed as the proto-oncogene. The proto-oncogene upon permanent activation leads to cancer, while tumor suppressor gene upon inactivation causes cancer.
(b)
Interpretation:
The function of PTP1B as tumor-suppressor gene or a proto-oncogene is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Tumor suppressor genes that are responsible for regulating cell growth and division, repair DNA, and regulates apoptosis.
