Description: Tumor suppressor genes act like a brake on cell function. The second figure example shows a mutation in the tumor suppressor gene that allows the continued function of the gene and production of its protein product.

A diagram shows in a tumor suppressor gene, normal growth inhibiting proteins act as a brake and cell division is under control. In the mutated tumor suppressor gene, defective protein is nonfunction, so cells replicate without interruption.
