Abstract
Normal and neoplastic cell growth is controlled by a complex interacting network of genes and proteins. The number of separate components in this network and the lines of communication between them remain poorly defined. Over the past decade, oncogenes and proto-oncogenes have attracted a great share of the attention of those interested in the molecular biology of cell growth. These genes sit at critical points in this complex signaling network, but they represent only a portion of the key elements controlling cell growth. The oncogenes described to date function in a number of distinct ways (Bishop 1983; Varmus 1984; Weinberg 1985). They may encode cellular proteins in the cytoplasm and nucleus that exert a variety of effects on cell phenotype. These effects include changes in growth factor dependence, morphology, sugar uptake and metabolism, and ability to grow indefinitely in culture (immortalization).
