Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations of the tumor suppressor gene p53 have been frequently detected in esophagal cancers, but their biological significance remains to be established. The tumor suppressor activity of p53 results in part from its ability to transactivate genes involved in the cell cycle and apoptosis, such as p21, bax and PIG3, and some p53 mutations may have a differential effect on the transactivation of these...
