Question 1

could you tell me what are proto-oncogenes?

Accepted Answer

Proto-oncogene: It is a normal gene that can, through mutation, become a gene that has the potential to cause cancer (oncogene).

Question 2

why aren't proto-oncogenes always oncogenic?

Accepted Answer

Environmental Causes: Proto-oncogenes are genetic coding that, given the proper environment and triggers, will begin coding to the abnormal proteins leading to cancer.  Sometimes, even having proper oncogenes will not lead to a cancer.  I cannot stress enough that cancer is a combination of nature (genes) and nurture (environment) with a slightly heavier weight on nurture.
