MeSH definition : Transforming glycoprotein coded by the fms oncogene from the Susan McDonough strain
of feline sarcoma virus (SM-FeSV). The oncogene protein v-fms lacks sequences, which,
in the highly homologous proto-oncogene protein c-fms (CSF-1 receptor), normally serve
to regulate its tyrosine kinase activity. The missing sequences in v-fms mimic the
effect of ligand and lead to constitutive cell growth. The protein gp120(v-fms) is
post-translationally modified to generate gp140(v-fms).;
MeSH synonym : fms oncogene product gp140; fms oncogene protein gp140; gp140(v-fms); v-fms, gp140; v-fms protein; v fms protein; gp140 v-fms; gp140 v fms;
MeSH hyponym : fms oncogene protein gp120; gp120(v-fms); fms oncogene product gp120; gp120 v-fms; gp120 v fms; v-fms, gp120;
