Background:
Tumor protein p63 (TP63), also known as the p63 or TP73L is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TP63 gene. It is mapped to 3q28. TP63 is a member of the p53 family of transcription factors. This gene encodes for two main isoforms by alternative promoters (TAp63 and ?Np63). TP63 has been mostly restricted to its apoptotic function and more recently as the guardian of oocyte integrity. It has been found that the combined loss of TP63 and p73 results in the failure of cells containing functional p53 to undergo apoptosis in response to DNA damage. TP63 is an essential regulator of stem cell maintenance in stratified epithelial tissues.
