Cdkn2c - cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2C Gene
Also Known as p18; INK4c; p18-INK6; p18INK4c; p18-INK4c
Species: Mus musculus
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the INK4 family of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors, and contains five ankyrin repeats. This protein interacts with both CDK4 and CDK6 to inhibit their kinase activities, and prevent their interactions with D-type cyclins, thereby negatively regulating cell division. This gene is differentially expressed in a variety of tissues, and is cell cycle regulated. Deletion of this gene can lead to tumor growth. Maximal expression is observed at the G2/M phase. Alternative splicing and promoter usage results in multiple transript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]
