tumor protein p53

This gene encodes tumor protein p53, which responds to diverse cellular stresses to regulate target genes that induce cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, senescence, DNA repair, or changes in metabolism. p53 protein is expressed at low level in normal cells and at a high level in a variety of transformed cell lines, where it's believed to contribute to transformation and malignancy. p53 is a DNA-binding protein containing transcription activation, DNA-binding, and oligomerization domains. It is postulated to bind to a p53-binding site and activate expression of downstream genes that inhibit growth and/or invasion, and thus function as a tumor suppressor. Mutants of p53 that f...

    score: 100100 | Homo sapiens Homo sapiens | Mutations/Phenotypic   Mutations/Phenotypic

    This study contains curated human phenotype data extracted from OMIM. Additional computational processing and curation of the phenotype data was performed to further organize and group data from related phenotypes into unifying disease categories.
