Anti-phospho-MDM2 (Ser395) (Ubiquitin-protein Ligase E3 Mdm2, p53-binding Protein Mdm2, Oncoprotein

MDM2 is a target of the transcription factor tumor protein p53. This protein is a nuclear phosphoprotein that binds and inhibits transactivation by tumor protein p53, as part of an autoregulatory negative feedback loop. Overexpression of MDM2 can result in excessive inactivation of tumor protein p53, diminishing its tumor suppressor function. This protein has E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, which targets tumor protein p53 for proteasomal degradation. MDM2 also affects the cell cycle,apoptosis, and tumorigenesis through interactions with other proteins, including retinoblastoma 1 and ribosomal protein L5.
