NCIt definition : Tumor protein D53 (204 aa, 22 kDa) is encoded by the human TPD52L1 gene. This protein
plays a role in apoptosis.;
NCIt note : Tumor protein D53 exhibits 52% identity to D52, a coiled-coil domain, and PEST domains.
D52, D53, and D54 share significant homology, including a coiled-coil domain indicative
of protein-protein interactions. TPD52L1 forms homodimers, or heterodimers with other
family members. Like D52, TPD52L1 may be involved in calcium-mediated signal transduction
and cell proliferation.;
