Function

Acts as a sequence specific DNA binding transcriptional activator or repressor. The isoforms contain a varying set of transactivation and auto-regulating transactivation inhibiting domains thus showing an isoform specific activity. Isoform 2 activates RIPK4 transcription. May be required in conjunction with TP73/p73 for initiation of p53/TP53 dependent apoptosis in response to genotoxic insults and the presence of activated oncogenes. Involved in Notch signaling by probably inducing JAG1 and JAG2. Plays a role in the regulation of epithelial morphogenesis. The ratio of DeltaN-type and TA*-type isoforms may govern the maintenance of epithelial stem cell compartments and regulate the initiation of epithelial stratification from the undifferentiated embryonal ectoderm. Required for limb formation from the apical ectodermal ridge. Activates transcription of the p21 promoter.

Activity summary

The p63 protein also known as TP63 or KET is a transcription factor that plays a role in the regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis. With a molecular mass of approximately 77 kDa it expresses predominantly in epithelial tissues such as those in the skin breast and prostate. The expression pattern of p63 makes it a useful marker in developmental biology and cancer diagnosis. Antibodies like '4A4' specifically recognize p63 in various assays including immunohistochemistry.

Biological function summary

P63 participates in the control of epithelial cell differentiation and proliferation. It functions as a member of the p53 family which includes p53 and p73. This family forms an important part of the complex regulatory network that maintains genomic stability. Research using methods like p63 staining in immunohistochemistry highlights its critical role in stratified epithelia. The gene encodes several isoforms with different biological activities impacting processes such as cellular senescence and development.

Pathways

P63 integrates into various signaling pathways that influence cellular growth and adherence. It notably impacts the Notch and Wnt pathways both of which are critical for developmental processes and cancer progression. Through these pathways p63 interacts with proteins like β-catenin and Notch receptors facilitating cross-talk that influences cell fate decisions. Its function relates closely to other transcription factors forming feedback loops that reinforce its regulatory impact.

Associated diseases and disorders

P63 shows strong associations with ectodermal dysplasia and different types of cancers like squamous cell carcinoma. Mutations and altered expressions of p63 contribute to these pathologies by disrupting normal cell proliferation and differentiation. The protein interacts closely with p73 in cancer suggesting a compensatory role when p63 function is compromised. Understanding these connections can guide the development of targeted therapies and improve diagnostic accuracy.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Biotin Anti-p63 antibody [EPR5701] (ab202861)

    IHC image of p63 staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded Normal Human Prostate*, performed on a Leica BondTM. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins, before blocking of endogenous biotin using Avidin/Biotin Blocking Kit ab64212. The section was then incubated with ab202861, 1/50 dilution, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated ABC system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset negative control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
