The tumor-suppressor gene p53 encodes a phosphoprotein involved in the control of cell growth. p53 expression and function have been documented in malignancy, apoptosis and the aging processes. Recently, p53 has been mapped and characterized in the normal cornea across different species.

- The p53 gene is a tumor suppressor that plays a role in cell growth and has been linked to cancer, aging, and cell death.
- Recent research shows that p53 is present in normal eye tissues, particularly the cornea of various vertebrate species.
- The study utilized immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis to find high levels of p53 in the corneal epithelium, suggesting it might have an important evolutionary function in the eye.
