This falls in agreement with studies by Bublik et al. that showed GTSE1 as a regulator of p21 stability by protecting it from proteosome-dependent degradationEarlier, the association of GTSE1 with p21 was shown to modulate cellular response to paclitaxel induced apoptosis in cervical cancer cells [36]. The gene discussed is GTSE1; the disease is cervical carcinoma.
