Review Description

Proto-oncogenes encode products that comprise a select group of cellular regulatory proteins whose mutation or aberrant expression can result in oncogenic transformation. With the exception of certain growth factors and their receptors, the definition of normal functions for most proto-oncogene products has been elusive. The discovery that a member of the src-family of tyrosine protein kinases (p56lck) is associated with both the CD4 and CD8 T-lymphocyte surface glycoproteins provides the first clue to understanding the potential physiological functions of this family of proto-oncogenes.
