The functional interactions between the MAPK and p53 signaling pathways

GS Wu - Cancer biology & therapy, 2004 - Taylor & Francis
The p53 tumor suppressor protein exerts its growth inhibitory activity by activating and
interacting with diverse signaling pathways. As a downstream target, p53 protein is …
