Abstract excerpt
The p53 family of transcription factors plays a pivotal role in the control of the cellular response to DNA damaging agents. In addition to pro-apoptotic molecules such as p53, TAp73 and TAp63, this gene family also encodes for the anti-apoptotic molecules deltaNp73, deltaNp63, deltaNp53, and p53 mutants are often found in tumor cells, that have the role to limit and to modulate the pro-apoptotic side of the...
