ΔNp63 plays an anti-apoptotic role in ventral bladder development

Abstract excerpt

The bladder, the largest smooth-muscle organ in the human body, is responsible for urine storage and micturition. P63, a homolog of the p53 tumor-suppressor gene, is essential for the development of all stratified epithelia, including the bladder urothelium. The N-terminal truncated isoform of p63, DeltaNp63, is known to have anti-apoptotic characteristics. We have established that DeltaNp63 is not only the...
