All of the following are potential proto-oncogenes except:
A) Proteins that function as growth factor receptors
B) Proteins that bind DNA
C) Growth factors
D) Proteins that neutralize growth factor receptors

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proto-oncogenes are genes that, when mutated or overexpressed, can lead to the development of cancer. Proteins that function as growth factor receptors (A), growth factors (C), and proteins that bind DNA (B) can all be potential proto-oncogenes because they are involved in regulating cell growth and division. However, proteins that neutralize growth factor receptors (D) do not play a role in promoting cell growth and division, and therefore, are not potential proto-oncogenes.
