Description

Description: P53 is a 339 amino acid protein (53kD) that is thought to act as a tumor suppressor gene. p53 is a DNA-binding protein, and missense mutation of the gene can lead to loss of its DNA-binding functions, and subsequent inactivation of p53 may be a contributing factor in tumorigenesis. Mutation of p53 occurs at many sites and represents a common genetic alteration in human malignancy. Mutations which result in overexpression of p53 can be detected by immunohistochemistry, and overexpression and accumulation of p53 in cell nucleus was reported for a number of human tumors, such as breast, lung and colon carcinomas. Staining of p53 overexpression may be a useful tumor and prognostic marker.

Specificity

Reacts with mutant p53 and denatured wild-type p53(1). Reactivity has been shown with most mammalian species, including; human, rat and mouse. The epitope is located between the evolutionally conserved Box III and IV regions (approximately 161–220aa in the human sequence). Reactivity with a 75kD cytoplasmic protein has been reported.
