Abstract excerpt
p63 and p73 show a high degree of structural homology to p53 and are members of a family of transcriptional factors that can activate transcription of p53-responsive genes. p53 is mutated in more than 50% of human cancers, whereas p63 and p73 are rarely mutated. Studies of knockout mice also revealed an unexpected functional diversity among the p53 family. To determine how p63 and p73 are involved in...
