Abstract excerpt
The P63 gene is a recently discovered member of the p53 family. While P53 is ubiquitously expressed, p63 is expressed specifically in embryonic ectoderm and in the basal regenerative layers of epithelial tissues in the adult. Complete abrogation of P63 gene function in an animal model points to the relevance of P63 for the proper development of ectodermally derived tissues. The p63 knockout mouse dies at birth...
