[edit] MDM1 or MDM2

Alvisetrevi, Do you have evidence for this change? The text you changed was taken directly from Entrez Gene (a source which I'm generally inclined to trust), so unless you cite a reference for the change that you made, I think we should leave it as is...

I've gone ahead and reverted your edit, since the original text came from a trusted source and your change is unreferenced. Feel free to add it back with an appropriate citation. Cheers, AndrewGNF 16:57, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I am quite sure that MDM2 is the appropriate protein (it is the one regulating p53 levels in the cell). My source is "Molecular biology of cancer", Oxford University Press, 2005, ISBN 978-0-19-926472-8, in particular Section 5.3. I will revert back your edit. Don't hesitate to write if you need further details! Alvisetrevi 19:40, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Okay, sounds good. I (or you) can add the appropriate reference to the main article. Though it would be even better I think if you could point to a Pubmed citation. Those tend to be easier to link and follow up on, IMHO. Cheers, AndrewGNF 20:23, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
