Rabbit polyclonal to p51BThe p53 tumor suppressor gene, which is induced by DNA damage and /or stress stimuli, causes cells to undergo G1-arrest or apoptotic death. p51 protein is similar but distinct from p53. Unlike ubiquitous expression of p53, expression of p51 is restricted to skeletal muscle, placenta, mammary gland, prostrate, trachea, thymus, salivary gland, uterus, heart and lung. p51 has two major splice variants p51A that contains 448 amino acids and p51B that contains 641 amino acids. In p53-deficient cells, p51A indices growth suppression and apoptosis. Mutations in p51 have been found in some human epidermal tumors. |
