TP53 antibody recognizes Tumor protein 53, a nuclear transcription factor encoded by the TP53 gene and widely known as p53, one of the most important tumor suppressors in human biology. Tumor protein 53 plays a central role in preserving genomic integrity by regulating genes involved in cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, apoptosis, and cellular senescence. Under normal physiological conditions, p53 protein levels are maintained at low abundance through MDM2 mediated ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, allowing normal cell proliferation and tissue homeostasis.
Upon exposure to cellular stress such as DNA damage, oncogene activation, hypoxia, or oxidative stress, p53 becomes stabilized through post translational modifications including phosphorylation and acetylation. Stabilized p53 accumulates in the nucleus, where it binds to specific DNA response elements and activates transcription of target genes including CDKN1A, BAX, and PUMA. Through these downstream pathways, Tumor protein 53 halts cell cycle progression to permit DNA repair or triggers apoptosis when genomic damage is irreparable. This checkpoint function is critical for preventing the expansion of genetically unstable cells and suppressing tumor formation.
Mutations in TP53 represent one of the most frequent genetic alterations in human cancers. Many tumor associated mutations lead to expression of a stable but dysfunctional p53 protein that accumulates within the nucleus, often resulting in strong nuclear immunoreactivity in malignant tissues. In addition to loss of tumor suppressive activity, certain mutant forms of p53 may acquire gain of function properties that contribute to tumor progression, invasion, and resistance to therapy. Because of its pivotal role in oncogenesis, TP53 antibody is widely used in research and diagnostic studies focused on cancer biology and tumor classification.
Tumor protein 53 is predominantly localized to the nucleus, consistent with its function as a transcription factor, although cytoplasmic staining may be observed depending on mutation status and cellular context. The recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody clone rTP53/8993 is designed to detect p53 protein expression in research applications evaluating DNA damage responses and tumor suppressor pathways. As a recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone rTP53/8993 supports consistent detection of TP53 in normal and neoplastic tissues.
Optimal dilution of the TP53/Tumor Protein 53 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Recombinant human full-length protein was used as the immunogen for the TP53/Tumor Protein 53 antibody.
Aliquot the TP53/Tumor Protein 53 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
