Summary

p40 antibody (antibody recognizing Np63 only) is an isoform of p63, is thought to function as a stem cell factor, responsible for maintaining cells in an uncommitted state with regenerative potential a role that may be recapitulated in tumors derived from these cells. p40 is normally expressed in the basal or progenitor cell layer of stratified epithelia (eg. squamous, urothelial, bronchial), basal cells of some glandular epithelia (eg. prostate), as well as myoepithelial cells of breast and salivary glands, trophoblasts and thymic epithelial cells. In tumor tissues, p40 expression is specific for squamous cell carcinoma. p40 is equivalent to p63 in sensitivity for lung squamous cell carcinoma, but it is markedly superior to p63 in specificity, which eliminates a potential pitfall of misinterpreting a p63-positive adenocarcinoma or unsuspected lymphoma as squamous cell carcinoma. p40 appears to be a more reliable marker for squamous cell carcinoma.

Functions

  • Acts as a sequence specific DNA binding transcriptional activator or repressor. The isoforms contain a varying set of transactivation and auto-regulating transactivation inhibiting domains thus showing an isoform specific activity. Isoform 2 activates RIPK4 transcription. 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. Involved in Notch signaling by probably inducing JAG1 and JAG2. Plays a role in the regulation of epithelial morphogenesis. The ratio of DeltaN-type and TA*-type isoforms may govern the maintenance of epithelial stem cell compartments and regulate the initiation of epithelial stratification from the undifferentiated embryonal ectoderm. Required for limb formation from the apical ectodermal ridge. Activates transcription of the p21 promoter.
