“…High src activity is characteristic of many common human tumors including colon cancers, breast cancers, lung cancers, sarcomas, and melanomas (Rosen et al, 1986;Cartwright et al, 1989;Ottenhoff-Kalff et al, 1992;Irby and Yeatman, 2000). In a subset of these tumors, this is due to mutational activation of src (Mao et al, 1997;Irby and Fujita, 1999;Sugimura et al, 2000). The interest in determining a src signaling pathway has led to the identification of numerous src substrates involved in diverse cellular functions including growth factor receptor signaling, cytoskeletal organization, cell motility, and adhesion signaling (Erpel and Courtneidge, 1995).…”
