I am doing a project on cancerous cell types and I've alreadyidentified 20 kinds, the tissues they effect, and the exact diseasethey cause. There are multiple other steps to the project that I amstruggling with. This involves finding biochemicals (such aslipids, proteins, etc) associated with specific cancer cell types,the metabolic pathways they effect, membrane proteins (such asgrowth factors) and membrane protein transporters associated withthe cancer cell type.
Could someone give me an idea on what databases or websites tosearch for for this type of information? I don't want the work donefor me, just some hints on how I can find this information. I willlist the exact instructions our professor gave us below.
----------
Use your Human Cancerous Cells examples from Module I and findif they have some very characteristic biochemical(s) that definethe cells.
Describe chemicals that are unique for these cells
Give at least 5 examples.
----------
Use your examples of human cancerous cells and find affectedmetabolic pathways that identify each of them.
Affected metabolic pathways
Find at least 5 examples from your cancerous cells that haveaffected metabolic pathways. These examples should have differentaffected pathways
----------
Use your examples of human cancerous cells and identify possiblemembrane components that are affected and unique for these type ofcells.
Identify affected membrane functions
Give at least 5 examples from your cancerous cells showing affectedmembrane proteins. These examples should have different affectedproteins.
----------
Use your examples of human cancerous cells and identify possiblemembrane protein transporters that are affected and unique forthese type of cells.
Affected transporting proteins
Identify affected membrane protein transports
Give at least 5 examples from your cancerous cells showing affectedmembrane proteins that are involved in transportation. Theseexamples should have different affected proteins.
