Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor gene p53 is mutated in a large proportion of human cancers. In some cellular conditions like DNA damage, the p53 gene is induced and its gene product is posttranscriptionally activated. p53 works as a transcriptional activator and induces the expression of its downstream target genes.
