Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The p21(WAF1/CIP1) cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor is an Mr 21,000 protein that can arrest cell growth by associating with and inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase complexes necessary for cells to exit G1. It is a downstream effector in the p53 growth control pathway and can be transcriptionally activated by increasing levels of p53 protein. The objective of this study was to determine if there are...
