Mutations in the p53 homolog p63: allele-specific developmental syndromes in humans.

Abstract excerpt

p63 is the most recently discovered but most ancient member of the p53 family. In marked contrast to p53, p63 is highly expressed in embryonic ectoderm and in the basal, regenerative layers of many epithelial tissues in the adult.
