Enzymes of Normal and Malignant Intestine

  • Chapter
Gastrointestinal Tract Cancer

Part of the book series: Sloan-Kettering Institute Cancer Series ((SKICS))

  • 51 Accesses

Abstract

The understanding of how the enzymatic balance in a eukaryotic cell leads to its function in the total organism, its mitotic activity, and on occasion malignancy is a goal many have sought. The differences in activities in similar tissues in slightly altered states could be highly indicative of their control. The cells of the intestinal mucosa undergo gradual changes and parallel these maturations with changes in location. In theory, at least, they provide an ideal model system to study.
