The precise mechanism of its action has not been fully elucidated, but c-Src is known to interact with a diverse array of molecules, including growth factor receptors and cell–cell adhesion receptors, integrins and steroid receptors including the ER (Ishizawar and Parsons, 2004; Shupnik, 2004) promoting tumour cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, migration and invasion (Frame, 2004; Yeatman, 2004). Here, SRC is linked to neoplasm.
