Genes whose gain-of-function alterations lead to NEOPLASTIC CELL TRANSFORMATION. They
include, for example, genes for activators or stimulators of CELL PROLIFERATION such
as growth factors, growth factor receptors, protein kinases, signal transducers, nuclear
phosphoproteins, and transcription factors. A prefix of "v-" before oncogene symbols
indicates oncogenes captured and transmitted by RETROVIRUSES; the prefix "c-" before
the gene symbol of an oncogene indicates it is the cellular homolog (PROTO-ONCOGENES)
of a v-oncogene
Note générale sur le champ d'application :
"oncogene" used by author may refer to ONCOGENES or PROTO-ONCOGENES; do not confuse
with ONCOGENS see CARCINOGENS; Manual 24.4.4.3; do not confuse with GENES, NEOPLASM
