TRAF7 contributes to tumor progression by promoting ubiquitin-proteasome mediated degradation of P53 in hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract It has been proved that TRAFs family proteins played malfunctioning roles in the development of human cancers. TRAF7 is the last one of TRAFs family proteins to be found, which was demonstrated to be involved in a serious of cancers development. In this study, we systematically investigated...
