Abstract excerpt
The mdm2 oncogene encodes a 90-kDa nuclear phosphoprotein that binds and inhibits the function of the p53 tumor suppressor protein. It was recently reported that the expression of alternatively spliced variants of mdm2 correlated with malignancy in ovarian tumors and bladder carcinomas. We analyzed the presence of alternatively spliced mdm2 variants and studied their correlation to p53 status in a total of 66...
