TP53 wt Allele Definition

Human TP53 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17p13.1 and is approximately 19 kb in length. This allele, which encodes cellular tumor antigen p53 protein, plays a role in cell cycle regulation during the G0/G1transition. Alterations of the TP53 gene occur as both somatic and germline mutations in human malignancies in select cancer-prone families with Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
