Abstract excerpt
Several types of human and animal tumors have been shown to carry mutations in the p53 gene. While the translation product of the wild type gene has tumor suppressor properties, mutant alleles of the gene produce proteins that can cooperate with other oncogene products in transforming cells. In t...
