but cannot be detected in basal epithelial cells by either immunostaining or western blotting
techniques. TAp63 transcript expression in epithelial
cells can be detected by RT-PCR, but it is ten to several
hundred folds lower than ΔNp63 expression.Given their different patterns of expression, TAp63 and
ΔNp63 are regulated differently at the transcriptional,
post-transcriptional, and post-translational levels.
