Abstract excerpt
Mutational activation of the ras proto-oncogenes is frequently found in skin cancers. However, the nature of downstream signaling pathways from Ras involved in skin carcinogenesis remains poorly understood. Recently, we and others identified phospholipase C (PLC) epsilon as an effector of Ras. Here we have examined the role of PLCepsilon in de novo skin chemical carcinogenesis by using mice whose PLCepsilon is...
