Terephthalic acid is an isomer and a precursor of polyester PET, used in clothing and plastics. It can also be utilized to build skin tumor models and promote excessive cell proliferation by disrupting the p16-cyclin D1/Cdk4-Rb cell cycle regulatory pathway. In vivo, it can lead to bladder stone formation in animal models, particularly in weanling mice at higher doses.
