Overexpression of p53 Tumor Suppressor Protein in Porokeratosis
1994-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Background: p53 is a tumor suppressor nucleoprotein. Mutations of the p53 gene have been found in a variety of malignant neoplasms. Wild-type p53 has a short half-life, possibly only 20 to 30 minutes, and is not present in the nucleus at levels that are detectable with routine immunohistochemical techniques. Mutant p53 has a longer half-life, and is readily detectable with immunoperoxidase staining. Results: We st...
