Abstract excerpt
The protein tyrosine kinase activity of c-src proto-oncogene product, pp60(c-src), is elevated in a number of human cancers, including colon cancer. Phosphorylation of human pp60(c-src) carboxy-terminal tyrosine 530 suppresses its kinase activity. A recent report suggested that the risk of colon cancer is higher for those who carry a C-->T transition mutation on codon 531 (Gln-531-->Amber-531) of src gene. This...
