{"symbol":"SRC","synonyms":["THC6","C-SRC","SRC1","ASV","P60-SRC"],"name":"SRC proto-oncogene, non-receptor tyrosine kinase","description":"This gene is highly similar to the v-src gene of Rous sarcoma virus. This proto-oncogene may play a role in the regulation of embryonic development and cell growth. The protein encoded by this gene is a tyrosine-protein kinase whose activity can be inhibited by phosphorylation by c-SRC kinase. Mutations in this gene could be involved in the malignant progression of colon cancer. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
