p53 Isoforms as Cancer Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets

Abstract excerpt

This review aims to summarize the implications of the major isoforms of the tumor suppressor protein p53 in aggressive cancer development. The current knowledge of p53 isoforms, their involvement in cell-signaling pathways, and their interactions with other cellular proteins or factors suggests the existence of an intricate molecular network that regulates their oncogenic function. Moreover, existing literature...
