What evidence suggests that a proto-oncogene like src is actually a normal cellular gene rather than a gene that has been inserted into the germ line by an infecting retrovirus? b. What is the normal function of src in the cell? c. Describe the regulation of this proto-oncogene include how the dysfunction of this proto-oncogene leads to cancer. Show less
