SRC SRC proto-oncogene, non-receptor tyrosine kinase

Gene ID: 6714, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ASV; SRC1; THC6; c-SRC; p60-Src

Summary

This gene is highly similar to the v-src gene of Rous sarcoma virus. This proto-oncogene may play a role in the regulation of embryonic development and cell growth. The protein encoded by this gene is a tyrosine-protein kinase whose activity can be inhibited by phosphorylation by c-SRC kinase. Mutations in this gene could be involved in the malignant progression of colon cancer. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
