TP63 is a member of the p53 family of transcription factors. It acts as a sequence specific DNA binding transcriptional activator or repressor. Many transcripts encoding different proteins have been reported but the biological validity and the full-length nature of these variants have not been determined. The isoforms contain a varying set of transactivation and auto-regulating transactivation inhibiting domains thus showing an isoform specific activity. TP63 may be required in conjunction with TP73/p73 for initiation of p53/TP53 dependent apoptosis in response to genotoxic insults and the presence of activated oncogenes. It is involved in Notch signaling by probably inducing JAG1 and JAG2. Plays a role in the regulation of epithelial morphogenesis.
