p53 Protein, 10 µg

Research area: Apoptosis

The p53 protein is a tumor suppressor encoded by TP53 gene located on chromosome 17.

Ubiquitination Cascade Comoponent: Substrate

p53 is expressed in a wide variety of tissues and plays a major role in preventing tumour development. It is involved in cell cycle regulation, functioning as a trans-activator to negatively regulate cell division by controlling a set of genes required for this process. It acts as a tumour suppressor in many tumour types by stimulating either apoptosis or growth arrest, depending on the physiological circumstances and the cell type. Defects in p53 expression have been implicated in several diseases, including choroid plexus papilloma, lung cancer, head/neck squamous cell carcinomas, oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, and hereditary adrenocortical carcinoma.
