p53 Products

Description

p53 is a stress-regulated transcription factor that was first identified as an SV40 large T antigen-binding protein. It plays a major role in the cellular response to DNA damage and other genomic aberrations. The activation of p53 can lead to either cell cycle arrest and DNA repair, or apoptosis. p53 is phosphorylated at multiple sites in vivo and by several different protein kinases in vitro. Mutation of p53 is the most common genetic change so far identified in a number of major carcinomas. This antibody can be used for the specific detection of human p53 that is synthesized in the presence of p53 from other species.
