A comparison of the biological activities of wild-type and mutant p53.

Abstract excerpt

Tumorigenesis is characterized by a series of genetic alterations in both dominant oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. A hallmark of tumor suppressor genes is that both alleles are generally altered during transformation, which usually represents a loss of function phenotype. The p53 tumor suppressor gene is the most frequently affected gene detected in human cancer. There is now growing evidence suggesting...
