Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor gene CDKN2A (p16/MTS1/INK4A), which encodes the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16(INK4a), is a target of 9p21 deletions during the malignant progression of human gliomas. This gene also encodes a second protein product (human p16beta, murine p19ARF), which originates from an unrelated exon of CDKN2A (exon 1beta) spliced onto exon 2 in an alternate reading frame. Cell cycle arrest by...
