Abstract excerpt
PPM1D is a p53-inducible Ser/Thr phosphatase. One of the main functions of PPM1D in normal cells is to act as a negative regulator of the p53 tumor suppressor by dephosphorylating p53 and several kinases. PPM1D is considered an oncoprotein owing to both its functions and the fact that gene amplification and overexpression of PPM1D are reported in several tumors. Recently, PPM1D mutations resulting in C-terminal...
