'''P63''' is a tumor protein belonging to the P53 family.  It is a multi-isoform protein required for epidermal development.  One isoform of P63 is involved in skin development and stem/progenitor cell regulation.  Another isoform functions in apoptosis.  P63 domains structure is similar to that of P53 with an N-terminal transactivation domain (TAD) followed by proline-rich region, DNA-binding domain (DBD) and tetramerization domain.  In addition, the P63 contains an additional C-terminal region with SAM (Sterile a-Motif) and transactivation inhibitory domains.  The SAM domain is involved in protein-protein interactions.
