Taking Advantage of Basic Research: p63 Is a Reliable Myoepithelial and Stem Cell Marker
1 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
p63 is a recently characterized p53-homolog that is consistently expressed by basal/somatic stem cells of stratified epithelia, myoepithelial cells of the breast and salivary glands, and proliferative compartment of gastric mucosa. p63 is located on the long arm of chromosome 3 (3q27) and it encodes six isoforms, three transactivating (TA) and three DeltaN-isoforms. While the first three isoforms may act as tumor...
