Tissue-specific expression of p73 and p63 isoforms in human tissues

p73 and p63 are members of the p53 family that exhibit overlapping and distinct functions in development and homeostasis. The evaluation of p73 and p63 isoform expression across human tissue can provide greater insight to the functional interactions between family members. We determined the mRNA isoform expression patterns of TP73 and TP63 across a panel of 36 human tissues and protein expression within the highest-expressing tissues. TP73 and...
