  • The p53 gene

    The p53 gene

    The p53 gene is a crucial gene in the human body that plays a critical role in regulating cell growth and division. The gene encodes a protein called p53, which acts as a checkpoint protein to monitor the integrity of the genome and respond to DNA damage. When DNA damage is detected, p53 can activate…
