| fms | <oncogene> An oncogene, identified in a feline sarcoma, encoding a tyrosine protein kinase, as part of a mutant receptor for macrophage colony-stimulating factor. (18 Nov 1997) |

| genes, fms | Family of retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (fms) originally isolated from the susan mcdonough strain of feline sarcoma virus (sm-fesv). The proto-oncogene fms (c-fms) codes for a protein (csf-1) that is a member of the transmembrane tyrosine kinase growth factor receptor family. The human c-fms gene is located at 5q33.3 on the long arm of chromosome 5. (12 Dec 1998) |

| oncogene protein gp140(v-fms) | 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). (12 Dec 1998) |
