Tumor protein p63 (TP63) is a gene that encodes a transcription factor protein that functions in the development and maintenance of stratified epithelial tissues. Fusions, missense, nonsense, and silent mutations are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and skin cancer.

TP63 is altered in 2.12% of all cancers with cutaneous melanoma, lung adenocarcinoma, squamous cell lung carcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, and breast invasive ductal carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
