Abstract excerpt
The present study is an initial analysis of whether p53 may function as guardian of the cardiomyocyte mitochondrial genome, with mitochondrial p53 localization proposed to be involved in both mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) repair and apoptosis. Subcellular distribution, protein levels, and possible function(s) of p53 protein in the response of cardiomyocytes to adriamycin (ADR) were analyzed. Levels and subcellular...
