Regulation of p63 Protein Stability via Ubiquitin-Proteasome Pathway

Abstract EN

The p53-related p63 gene encodes multiple protein isoforms, which are involved in a variety of biological activities.

p63 protein stability is mainly regulated by the ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal degradation pathway.

Several ubiquitin E3 ligases have been identified and some protein kinases as well as other kinds of proteins are involved in regulation of p63 protein stability.

These regulators are responsive to diverse extracellular signaling, resulting in changes of the p63 protein levels and impacting different biological processes.
