Examples of retinoblastoma in the following topics:
-
Biochemical Products of Recombinant DNA Technology
- Making possible mutation identification: due to this technology, people can be easily tested for mutated protein presence that can lead to breast cancer, neurofibromatosis, and retinoblastoma.
-
Regulator Molecules of the Cell Cycle
- The best understood negative regulatory molecules are retinoblastoma protein (Rb), p53, and p21.
- Retinoblastoma proteins are a group of tumor-suppressor proteins common in many cells.
-
Plant DNA Viruses
- The other segments encode products of 10-20 kDa in size and include a coat protein of ~19 kDa and a protein with a retinoblastoma binding motif.
