The possible role of SRMS in colorectal cancer by bioinformatics analysis

Abstract Background Src-related kinase lacking C-terminal regulatory tyrosine and N-terminal myristoylation sites (SRMS) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that has been found to be overexpressed in various tumors. However, the role of SRMS in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been well established. Me...
