Abstract excerpt
Little is known about the molecular mechanisms responsible for the development of intracranial germ cell tumors (ICGTs). Recently, we demonstrated that the balance of the p53-mdm2 interactions is disrupted in ICGTs. The p14ARF product, a tumor suppresser gene located on the INK4a/ARF locus, acts as one of the major factors affecting p53-mdm2 interactions via its binding to mdm2 and the stimulation of mdm2...
