The protein p53 is the product of the gene, TP53. Mutation in the TP53 gene has been associated with the pathology of several malignant cancers. TP53 is classified as a tumour-suppressor gene - it acts as a 'brake' during the cell cycle, and prevents cells from replicating too quickly. All human cells, apart from gametes… Continue reading The role of p53 in cancer
Transcribe: To copy something Transcription is a biological process by which information stored on a gene is copied to a short molecule called messenger RNA. A gene can be divided into two sections: - a Promoter region, which includes a sequence (TATA box), that can be recognised by the active site of the enzyme RNA… Continue reading Biology Biteables – Transcription
