NCIt definition : Tumor protein 63 isoform 2 (586 aa, 66 kDa) is encoded by the human TP63 gene. This
protein plays a role in the mediation of both transcription and skin development.;
NCIt note : Tumor protein 63 isoform 2 is the product of an alternative promoter and start codon
located in exon 3 of the human TP63 gene. It also has an N-terminally truncated transactivation
domain. Expression of isoform 2 may be tissue specific and aberrant expression may
be associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. (Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics
