Background
|
This gene is highly similar to the v-src gene of Rous
sarcoma virus. This proto-oncogene may play a role in the
regulation of embryonic development and cell growth. The protein
encoded by this gene is a tyrosine-protein kinase whose activity
can be inhibited by phosphorylation by c-SRC kinase. Mutations in
this gene could be involved in the malignant progression of colon
cancer. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been
found for this gene.
