Target Details

  • Target: p53
  • Target molecular weight: 53 kDa
  • Target background: Anti-p53 binds p53 protein, a crucial tumour suppressor protein, implicated in over 50% of cancers. p53 is a stress-regulated transcription factor that regulates cell cycle arrest and was first identified as an SV40 large T antigen-binding protein. p53 is involved in many mechanisms of anti-cancer function and plays a role in apoptosis, genomic stability, cell cycle regulation, and inhibition of angiogenesis. p53 is known as the guardian of the genome as it functions to prevent gene mutation. Mutants of p53 which frequently occur in human cancers, fail to recognise their DNA binding site, leading to the loss of tumour suppressor activity. p53 is typically found in low levels in healthy cells due to its short half-life, however, in disease states it is expressed in high amounts due to somatic mutations and is believed to contribute to transformation and malignancy. p53 mutations are found in over 50% of cancers with germline mutations, offering a predisposition to inherited cancer susceptibility syndrome. Anti-p53 Pab242 binds to an epitope within amino acids 18-27 at the N-terminus.
