Proteins and Genes
The Genome project has in a way helped spur the interest in the role genes and simple proteins play in the human body. And for this instance, the specific protein/s responsible were indeed identified (initially seven and then trimmed down to three) and are currently receiving much interest in cancer researchers. A sudden abnormality in the production of the specific protein causes mutations that can lead to skin melanoma’s which is why skin cancer experts are thrilled for they have come one step closer to finding a way of halting if not to totally prevent the disease from killing millions yearly. For more details regarding their study, check out the following link which can be a good area to follow for those who are involved in seeking better treatments for these skin problems
