p63/TP73L: Products

Tumor Protein 63 (p63), also named TP73L, TP63, p51, p40 or KET, is a p53 homolog. It is one of several proteins that are produced from a single gene using two promoters and alternative splicing of the primary RNA transcript. p63 is highly expressed in embryonic ectoderm and in the nuclei of basal regenerative cells of many epithelial tissues in the adult. p63 is suggested to play a role in development, epithelial cell maintenance and tumorigenesis.
