ets oncogene

A proto-cancer gene which causes leukemias (blood cancers) in chickens. It is carried and spread by the avian leukemia virus E26 (v-ets). The normal role of the oncogene is the making of a nuclear protein which can bind DNA and which may help activate and proliferate T lymphocyte cells.
