The Low Molecular Weight Isoforms of Cyclin E Deregulate the Cell Cycle of Mammary Epithelial Cells
12 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
Cyclin E in complex with CDK2 is a positive regulator of the G1 to S phase transition of the cell cycle and is responsible for cells passing the restriction point, committing the cell to another round of cell division. Cyclin E is overexpressed and proteolytically cleaved into low molecular weight (LMW) isoforms in breast cancer cell lines and tumor tissues compared to normal cells and tissues. These alterations...
