SKI has been linked to various types of cancer such as melanoma, esophageal cell carcinoma, cervical cancer and the process of tumor progresssion. The SKI oncoprotein has been demonstrated to assist tyrosine kinases to cause leukemia, recently it has been demonstrated that the protein also plays a regulatory role in several signal transduction pathways that are frequent targets for mutagenesis in human tumors. | SKI has been linked to various types of cancer such as melanoma, esophageal cell carcinoma, cervical cancer and the process of tumor progresssion. The SKI oncoprotein has been demonstrated to assist tyrosine kinases to cause leukemia, recently it has been demonstrated that the protein also plays a regulatory role in several signal transduction pathways that are frequent targets for mutagenesis in human tumors. Much research performed on the SKI protein is based on the role it plays in the proliferation of cells in human melanoma. | ||
