Abstract excerpt
The biochemical function of p27Kip1 as an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases is well-established, but the role of p27 as a tumor suppressor depends on specific cellular contexts. Previous studies using p27 knockout mice on mixed C57BL/6J x 129/Sv strain background did not find a tumor suppressor role of p27 in the liver. An important feature of mouse liver tumorigenesis is strain-dependent tumor...
