Anti-Src Antibody, clone GD11

60 kDa

Src is a family of proto-oncogenic tyrosine kinases originally discovered by J. Michael Bishop and Harold E. Varmus. The discovery of Src family proteins has been instrumental to the modern understanding of cancer as a disease where normally healthy cellular signalling has gone awry.
Some tumor-inducing retroviruses (such as Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)), contain a gene called v-src (viral-sarcoma). It was found that the v-src gene in RSV is required for the formation of cancer.
Src tyrosine kinases transmit integrin-dependent signals central to cell movement and proliferation. Hallmarks of v-src induced transformation are rounding of the cell and the formation of actin rich podosomes on the basal surface of the cell. These structures are correlated with increased invasiveness, a process thought to be essential for metastasis.
v-src lacks the C-terminal inhibitory phosphorylation site, and is therefore constitutively active as opposed to normal src (c-src) which is only activated under certain circumstances where it is required (e.g. growth factor signaling). v-src is therefore an instructive example of an oncogene whereas c-src is a proto-oncogene.
