The role of tumor suppressor p53 in metabolism and energy regulation, and its implication in cancer and lifestyle-related diseases

Abstract excerpt

The tumor suppressor gene p53 is mutated in approximately more than 50% of human cancers. p53 is also referred to as the "cellular gatekeeper" or "guardian of the genome" because it protects the body from spreading mutated genome induced by various stress.
