The present invention provides a mammalian cell transfected with an
expression vector comprising a human protooncogene which has the
nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; a mammalian embryo carrying a
nucleic acid construct comprising the human protooncogene; a transgenic
cancer mammal, which is derived from the mammalian embryo; and a kit for
diagnosing a cancer selected from the group consisting of breast, kidney,
ovary and stomach cancers, which comprises a probe having the nucleotide
sequence complementary to mRNA transcribed from the human protooncogene
or a portion of the mRNA; or an antibody binding specifically to a
protein translated from the mRNA or a portion of the protein.
