What is the "tumor protein P53 gene"?
The tumor protein P53 gene (TP53 gene) is crucial for managing cell growth and preventing cancer. It produces a protein that acts as a tumor preventer by repairing DNA damage or causing cell death if the damage is irreparable. Changes in the TP53 gene can lead to uncontrolled cell division and tumor formation, making it a main focus in cancer research and treatment.
