Abstract excerpt
Increased activity of the proto-oncogene c-Src and elevated levels of integrin alpha(v)beta(3) are found in melanomas and multiple carcinomas. Regulation of c-Src involves "priming" through disruption of intramolecular interactions followed by "activation" through phosphorylation in the kinase domain. Interactions with overexpressed receptor tyrosine kinases or mutations in the SRC gene can induce priming of...
