Genes Involved in Death of Cell
- Apoptotic Genes: These are the genes that are responsible for the death of the cells. When there is no longer a need for an existing cell, these genes start working. These genes produce a protein that destroys the existence of the cell. Hence, this gene is used to remove old incapable cells. The cancerous cells also have these genes. But they are used for their benefit.
- Anti-Apoptotic Genes: These are the genes that act opposite to the Apoptotic genes. This means these genes can provide a status to the cell as immortal. This means when there is a need to live longer the cell dies to some parameter in the body, and then this gene gets activated. When the cell is dividing this gene is in active form. So that the cell will not die unusually. In the Tumorigenesis process, this gene has a much influence.
Cancer Genes
The human body is a hub of a complex mechanism. Every organ in the body is associated with cell interactions. Like every machine gets affected by some problems, the human body is not different from that. There are several diseases are present in the world. These are diseases that can affect the process of normal body functions. Human civilization has seen many pandemic disease waves. From Spanish flu to the newest Corona pandemic. These diseases infect the human body & destroy their work. But one most significant disease is still not yet resolved nor has any vaccine. This disease is known as Tumorigenesis.
