p16 Polyclonal Antibody Review

Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (melanoma, p16, inhibits CDK4). Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A interacts strongly with cdk4 and cdk6. It belongs to the cdkn2 family of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, and plays role in cyclins and cell cycle regulation.CDKN2A acts as a negative regulator of the proliferation of normal cells by interacting strongly with CDK4 and CDK6. This interaction inhibits CDKs binding to cyclins D and phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein. Defects in CDKN2A are the cause of numerous cancers such as melanoma and astrocytoma.
