Description

Vaclav Hrabal and co-authors map, in a 2024 study, where the two rival forms of the protein p73 sit in human tissues and tumors. The gene TP73, a cousin of the famous guardian TP53, makes a long form that can activate genes and a short form lacking that switch, and the two often oppose each other.

New purpose-built antibodies let the team stain each form separately. The long form marked multiciliated lining cells; the short form marked quiet basal reserve cells of squamous epithelia. In cervical cancers, the main variant appeared in most tumors, and its basal pattern tracked with lower tumor grade. The forms look like state badges.
