The role of the tumour suppressor p33ING1b in human neoplasia
... In mice, ING1 has been found to encode two protein products, which share 80–88% homology with human ING1 proteins.8 The bigger protein (p37) acts as a p53 cooperator and hence it behaves as a tumour suppressor. In contrast, the smaller protein (p31) acts as a p53 inhibitor, greatly lowering the cell ...
