Proto-oncogenes are a group of genes that cause normal cells to become cancerous when they are mutated (Adamson, 1987; Weinstein & Joe, 2006).Mutations in proto-oncogenes are typically dominant in nature, and the mutated version of a proto-oncogene is called an oncogene.Often, proto-oncogenes encode proteins that function to stimulate cell division, inhibit cell differentiation, and halt cell death.roto-oncogenes are a group of genes that cause normal cells to become cancerous when they are mutated (Adamson, 1987; Weinstein & Joe, 2006).
Oncogenes are mutated genes whose PRESENCE can stimulate the development of cancer. When oncogenes arise in normal cells, they can contribute to the development of cancer by telling cells to make proteins that stimulate excessive cell growth and division. Oncogenes are gain of function genes. few important tumor-suppressor genes: 1  p53: a transcription factor that regulates cell division and cell death. 2  Rb: alters the activity of transcription factors and therefore controls cell division. 3  APC: controls the availability of a transcription factor.
