Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

p53 is a tumor suppressor protein that plays an important role in regulating cell division and apoptosis (programmed cell death). It can sense DNA damage and halt the cell cycle to allow for DNA repair or trigger apoptosis if the damage is extensive and irreparable. Heat, FtsZ, and DNA do not play roles in regulating cell division in response to DNA damage.
