P63 is a transcription factor that plays a critical role in the growth and development of many epithelial tissues. It is found in basal epithelial cells in tissues such as cervix, bladder, breast, epidermis, and prostate.
Tissue-Tek Genie<sup>&reg;</sup><br /> anti-p63 Strong nuclear expression for p63 is present in the majority of neoplastic cells in this squamous cell carcinoma of lung. Weak nuclear reactivity is also discernable in scattered lymphocytes.
