Chapter 24, Problem 22CONQ
Summary Introduction

To review:

The proto-oncogene and function of the protein encoded by them. The methods by which the proto-oncogenes are converted into oncogenes.

Introduction:

Cancer cells are cells thatgrow uncontrollably. Cancer cells have lost their properties of contact inhibition and density-dependent inhibition which, allows cells to grow in multiple layersand spread to other body parts. The conversion of proto-oncogenes into oncogenes enhances the proliferation of cells due to a mutation within the genes which, eventually causes cancer.
