The protein products of tumour suppressor gene may

  • Be present in non-cancerous cells

  • Cause signal cell death

  • Regulate the cell cycle

  • All of the above


A.

Be present in non-cancerous cells

A tumour suppressor gene or anti-oncogene, is a gene that protects a cell from one step on the path to cancer. It regulates the cell cycle, causes signal cell death and present is a non-cancerous cell.
