p27kip1

    0.03 sec.
p27kip1
A cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor which binds to cyclinE/cdk2, blocking the G1/S transition step required for cell cycle progression. It is upregulated by cell stress, resulting in inhibition of cell cycling and apoptosis, and may have a role in tumour supression, cell migration and mitosis; low p27 expression has been reported in breast, colourectal, gastric, lung and brain cancer. Decreased p27 expression is associated with a poorer prognosis. p27 is downregulated through degradation by ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis

Cell cycle arrest in Metformin treated breast cancer cells involves activation of AMPK, downregulation of cyclin D1, and requires p27Kip1 or p21Cip1.
Increased AKT activity contributes to prostate cancer progression by dramatically accelerating prostate tumor growth and diminishing p27Kip1 expression.
p21WAF1 (p21) and p27KIP1 (p27) are both universal inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases and can therefore influence cell cycle or tumor progression.
