Abstract excerpt
Overexpression of cyclin D1 is associated with many cancers, and its overexpression is especially associated with a poor prognosis in breast cancer. Paradoxically, cyclin D1 is known to enhance radiation sensitivity, a finding that has not yet been therapeutically exploited. Proposed cyclin D1 functions that could be involved in this effect include cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-dependent phosphorylation of...
