Proto-oncogenes and oncogenes in epidermal neoplasia

Exp Dermatol. 1995 Apr;4(2):65-73. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0625.1995.tb00224.x.

Abstract

This review briefly will focus on the role of selected proto-oncogenes and their activated forms during the regulation of cell proliferation, cell death and tumor formation in the epidermis. In addition, the multiple and complex functions of these proteins in normal as well as transformed cells will be discussed.
