Abstract excerpt
Human Chk1 and Chk2 are DNA damage-activated protein kinases that function as downstream mediators of ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM), which is involved in G(2)/M cell cycle arrest. To clarify the relation between the expression of Chk1/Chk2 and p53 gene status in human gastric carcinomas, we examined expression of Chk1, Chk2 and p53 proteins in 87 gastric carcinomas by Western blotting and...
