<i>PTGF-β</i> , a type β transforming growth factor (TGF-β) superfamily member, is a p53 target gene that inhibits tumor cell growth via TGF-β signaling pathway
4 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Identification and characterization of p53 target genes would lead to a better understanding of p53 functions and p53-mediated signaling pathways. Two putative p53 binding sites were identified in the promoter of a gene encoding PTGF-beta, a type beta transforming growth factor (TGF-beta) superfamily member. Gel shift assay showed that p53 bound to both sites. Luciferase-coupled transactivation assay revealed...
