Abstract excerpt
The tumor-suppressor gene p53 may transactivate the transcription of genes that down-regulate cellular growth-related genes and may become oncogenic as a result of the production of mutant proteins or the loss of its protein expression. This study reports that alterations of the highly conserved...
