Oncogene Protein

Molecular classification
Enzyme, Transcription factor, Signal transduction protein
01

Overview

Oncogene proteins, also known as oncoproteins, are the products of oncogenes—genes that have the potential to cause cancer. These proteins play a central role in regulating or synthesizing other proteins linked to tumorigenic cell growth. Normally, their precursor genes (proto-oncogenes) are involved in essential cellular functions such as cell growth, division, and survival. When proto-oncogenes become mutated or dysregulated, they transform into oncogenes and produce oncoproteins that drive uncontrolled cellular proliferation.
