AffiAB® Anti-TAp63 Purified [TAp63-4.1]

Overview

The p53 family of proteins includes three members, p53, p63, and p73. The protein p63 is encoded by TP63 gene, which gives rise to protein isoforms with different properties and functions due to the presence (TAp63) or absence (deltaNp63) of an N-terminal transactivation domain. Immunohistochemistry of p63 has a clinical relevance for certain tumor types, but investigations have been hampered by a lack of well characterized antibodies that are specific for p63, do not cross-react with the related p53 and p73 proteins, and allow for discrimination between p63 isoforms TAp63 and deltaNp63 with opposite functional properties.
