Turkish - English
Definition of urkalıt in Turkish English dictionary
- (Biyokimya) oncogene
- Any gene that contributes to the conversion of a normal cell into a cancerous cell when mutated or expressed at high levels
- A gene thought to be capable of producing cancer
- The part of the cell that normally directs cell growth, but which can also promote or allow the uncontrolled growth of cancer if damaged (mutated) by an environmental exposure to carcinogens, or if damaged or missing because of an inherited defect A gene that has the potential to cause a normal cell to become cancerous
- A gene whose action promotes cell proliferation Oncogenes are altered forms of proto-oncogenes
- A gene which, functioning abnormally, encourages normal cells to turn cancerous
- A gene, one or more forms of which is associated with cancer Many oncogenes are involved, directly or indirectly, in controlling the rate of cell growth
- One or more genes that produce cancer These genes are normally repressed, but a variety of factors can cause their activation, including virus infections, carcinogenic chemicals, and nonionizing and ionizing radiation
- Gene thought to be capable of producing cancer
- A gene whose activity is associated with the conversion of normal cells to cancer cells (See 411)
- A gene coding for a protein that can contribute to the transformation of a normal cell into a tumor cell
- Any gene that contributes to the conversion of a normal cell into a cancerous cell
- A type of gene that is normally inactive When these genes are "turned on" (activated), they cause normal cells to change into cancer cells
- A gene that normally directs cell growth, but when altered, can promote cancer These genes are normally found in all cells, but oncogenes may undergo changes that activate them, causing cells to grow too quickly and form tumors
- a gene that causes normal cells to change into cancerous tumor cells
- A gene, one or more forms of that is associated with cancer Many oncogenes are involved, directly or indirectly, in controlling the rate of cell growth
- a gene associated with the development of cancer
- Gene that can cause cancer. It is a sequence of DNA that has been altered or mutated from its original form, the proto-oncogene (see mutation). Proto-oncogenes promote the specialization and division of normal cells. A change in their genetic sequence can result in uncontrolled cell growth, ultimately causing the formation of a cancerous tumour. In humans, proto-oncogenes can be transformed into oncogenes in three ways: point mutation (alteration of a single nucleotide base pair), translocation (in which a segment of the chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome), or amplification (increase in the number of copies of the proto-oncogene). Oncogenes were first discovered in certain retroviruses and were later identified as cancer-causing agents in many animals. See also J. Michael Bishop; Harold Varmus
- fragments of genetic material (DNA) that carry the potential to cause cancer (transform normal cells into malignant cells)
- One of a large number of tgenes that can help make a cell cancerous Typically, a mutant form of a normal gene (proto-oncogene) involved in the control of cell growth or division The viral form of an oncogene is usually referred to as 'v-onc'
- a gene which normally directs cell growth, but when it becomes mutated, it has the ability to transform a normal cell into a tumor cell through uncontrolled growth
