These genes code for proteins that help regulate cell growth. These important genes are called proto-oncogenes. A change in the DNA sequence of the proto-oncogene gives rise to an oncogene ...

In their normal state, genes that code for the normal proteins controlling these critical processes are called proto-oncogenes. However, once they are altered (see below) to become oncogenes ...

Myc is a family of regulator genes and proto-oncogenes that help manage cell growth and differentiation in the body. When Myc mutates to an oncogene, it can promote cancer cell growth. The Myc ...
