Summary Introduction

To review:

The effect of the mutation that caused continuous production of the active p53 on the cell.

Introduction:

P53 (molecular weight is 53 kilodaltons) is a protein, which is associated with the development of cancer in multicellular organisms. It prevents the formation of cancerous cells in the body. This protein is also considered as the “guardian of the genome.”

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
explain how p53 functions in a cell that sustained DNA damage to prevent progression of that cell into a cancer cell
A change in what type of cell is most likely to cause a mutation that can be inherited?
A protein called p53 promotes the expression of genes encoding DNA repair enzymes. Badly damaged DNA prompts p53 to trigger apoptosis, and the cell dies. Why might mutations in the gene encoding p53 be associated with a high risk for cancer?
