MDM2 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that regulates the turnover of several cellular factors including the p53 tumour suppressor protein and notably MDM2 itself. The suppression of p53 activity by an amplified Mdm2 gene has been observed in many tumours, including soft tissue sarcomas, osteosarcomas and breast tumours.MDM2 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that regulates the turnover of several cellular factors including the p53 tumour suppressor protein and notably MDM2 itself.
