Oncogene and Tumor Suppressor Antibody Sampler Kit #8678

Oncogenesis is a multistep process leading to sequential alterations in several oncogenes, tumor-suppressor genes, and microRNA genes (1,2). These alterations often disrupt the expression, function, and/or activity of proteins regulating cell growth and programmed cell death. Many of the molecular mechanisms and biological pathways driving oncogenesis and cancer pathology have been identified. The signal transduction pathways regulating apoptosis, cell-cycle progression, cell adhesion, cell migration, and DNA damage responses are often disrupted. HER2/ErbB2 (3), E-Cadherin (4), p53 (5,6), Stathmin (7), BRCA1 (8,9), Akt (10), PTEN (11), and Estrogen Receptor α (12) function in many of these pathways.
