Anti-p53 (Cellular Tumor Antigen p53, Antigen NY-CO-13, Phosphoprotein p53, Tumor Suppressor p53, TP

p53 is an intensively studied tumor suppressor protein, which has a vital role in the control of cell growth. In normal circumstances cells arrest during the G1/G2 phase of the cell cycle, and undertake any DNA repair processes that are necessary. This arrest is mediated by p53, and if p53 is absent or damaged cells with cancerous potential may be able to continue through the cell cycle. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot.
