Cell death and differentiation - 1 Mar 2002

Abstract excerpt
The recently identified p53 family member, p73, shows substantial structural and functional homology with p53. However, despite the established role of p53 as a proto-type tumor suppressor, a similar function of p73 in malignancy is questionable. Overexpression of p73 can activate typical p53-responsive genes, and activation of p73 has been implicated in apoptotic cell death induced by aberrant cell proliferation...
