Abstract excerpt
The p21(WAF1/cIP1) cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) inhibitor is a regulator of the G(1)-S cell cycle checkpoint. Despite the importance of p21 in cell cycle inhibition, its role as a tumor suppressor is uncertain. p21 mutations are infrequent in human tumors, and p21 null mice exhibit no increased tumor incidence. To ascertain whether p21 could influence tumor formation or progression in the context of other...
