ei24, a p53 response gene involved in growth suppression and apoptosis.

Abstract excerpt

DNA damage and/or hyperproliferative signals activate the wild-type p53 tumor suppressor protein, which induces a G(1) cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. Although the mechanism of p53-mediated cell cycle arrest is fairly well defined, the p53-dependent pathway regulating apoptosis is poorly understood. Here we report the functional characterization of murine ei24 (also known as PIG8), a gene directly regulated by...
