Abstract

Recognition of TP53’s prominent role in protection from cancer has boosted a huge amount of scientific reports (around 40000) describing the function of TP53 as a tumour suppressor. Quite an unusual feature of a tumour suppressor was noted – TP53 is point mutated rather than inactivated in cancers and is highly expressed in tumours. Mutation of TP53 gene confers novel oncogenic properties on TP53 protein.
