Abstract excerpt
p21 Cip1 was first isolated as one of the cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) interacting proteins induced by wild-type p53 gene product, and it appears to play an essential regulatory role in the control of cell proliferation as a potent, tight-binding inhibitor of cyclin-Cdk complex that blocks the G1/S transition of the cell cycle. We have now examined the p21 Cip1 mRNA expression levels in 16 surgically excised...
