Oncogene - Wikipedia
Proto-oncogene A proto-oncogene is a normal gene that could become an oncogene due to mutations or increased expression. Proto-oncogenes code for proteins that help to regulate the cell growth and differentiation. Proto-oncogenes are often involved in signal transduction and execution of mitogenic signals, usually through their protein products.

Oncogene - National Human Genome Research Institute
Oncogene. The name of oncogene suggests it is a gene that can cause cancer. Initially, oncogenes were identified in viruses, which could cause cancers in animals. Later, it was found that oncogenes can be mutated copies of certain normal cellular genes also called proto-oncogenes. Intact proto-oncogenes play important functions, regulating normal cellular growth, division, and apoptosis, which ...
Oncogenes, Tumor Suppressor Genes, and DNA Repair Genes
The main types of genes that play a role in cancer are: Oncogenes Tumor suppressor genes DNA repair genes Cancer is often the result of changes in more than one of these types of genes. Oncogenes Proto-oncogenes help control normal cell growth and division. When a proto-oncogene changes (mutates) or becomes too active, it can become an oncogene. When this happens, the cell can start to ...

Oncogene: What They Are & What They Do - Cleveland Clinic
What are oncogenes? An oncogene is a gene that may cause cancer. It’s a mutated (changed) form of a normal gene, called a proto-oncogene, that manages cell growth. When proto-oncogenes mutate into oncogenes, they cause cells to grow and divide uncontrollably. Eventually, the abnormal cells may form tumors. Think of it this way: Oncogenic means “causing tumor growth.” And this is what ...
Oncogene | Description, Discovery, Proto-oncogene, Cancer, & Facts ...
oncogene, genetic material that carries the ability to induce cancer. An oncogene is a sequence of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that has been altered or mutated from its original form, the proto-oncogene. Operating as a positive growth regulator, the proto-oncogene is involved in promoting the differentiation and proliferation of normal cells.
Oncogene-Driven Metabolic Alterations in Cancer - PMC
Thus, understanding the influence of cellular or environmental factors, such as oncogene-induced metabolic switches, on cancer cell metabolism is important for the development of better anticancer therapeutics targeting altered metabolism in cancer cells.
Definition of oncogene - NCI Dictionary of Cancer Terms
A mutated (changed) form of a type of gene called a proto-oncogene, which is involved in normal cell growth and division. When a proto-oncogene is changed so that too many copies are made or it becomes more active than normal, it is called an oncogene.
