Abstract

p53 has identified as a tumor suppressor protein to protect cells from DNA damage. p53, also well known for a transcription factor, can activate genes such as p21, bax, gadd45 and induce a number of the responses such as differentiation, senescence, DNA repair, apoptosis and the inhibition of angiogenesis to protect cells. Many mechanisms of p53 activation have been studied.(omitted)
