Abstract excerpt
p27Kip1 is an important regulator of the G1 to S transition. While a potent inhibitor of cyclin-dependent-kinase (Cdk)2, p27 is also involved in assembly of cyclin D/Cdk4 complexes. Although rarely mutated, p27 is functionally downregulated in many human cancers by mechanisms involving enhanced degradation, cytoplasmic mislocalization, and/or sequestration by cyclin D/Cdk complexes in response to oncogenic...
