v-

Retroviruses employ the RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (reverse transcriptase) within their capsid to replicate their RNA genome into a DNA intermediate, which can be incorporated (as a v-gene) into the host cell's DNA by an integrase enzyme.

Cellular proto-oncogenes resident in transforming retroviruses are designated as c- (cellular origin) as opposed to v- (retroviral origin).
