Chapter 14, Problem 27P
Interpretation Introduction

(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.

Interpretation Introduction

(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. Any mutation in the tumor suppressor gene can lead to uncontrolled cell division, ultimately resulting in cancer.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
