Protein Localization
I agree with Victoria\\\\\\\'s post about Protein Localization because the post gives a clear explanation of how important it is for proteins to be located in specific locations and sequences. Proteins are location-specific; therefore, their location determines how effective they are in performing functions (Samra, 2020). Localizing the tumor suppressor gene to a different cellular component might lead to the development of tumor growth.
The post reminds me of a relative I lost because of a brain tumor. It was a sad moment for the family after we had visited several hospitals to save her life, but it was all in vain. I now know that tumor occurs when p53 becomes oncogenic, leading to uncontrollable cell growth and division and tumor development in body tissues (Orre, 2019). I find this concept interesting because p53 functions normally when it is not altered but instead left to stay in its standard location.
Victoria\\\\\\\'s post is quite enlightening, full of concepts that anyone would be interested in learning more about. She also points out that mutations of p53 are responsible for the development of stomach cancer in humans. It is a significant point to note. I like how the post educates us on the causes of two of the deadliest conditions in the lives of humans\\\\\\\' cancer and tumor.
