BackgroundBackground
A proto-oncoprotein is a gene that can become an oncogene, or a gene that has the potential to cause cancer if mutated or if expressed in quantitative amounts. The SKI protein acts as said protooncogene. The SKI protein has been associated with tumors at large levels of cellular concentrations and it has been shown to interfere with normal cellular functioning.
