MeSH definition : A cyclin subtype that is specific for CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASE 4 and CYCLIN-DEPENDENT
KINASE 6. Unlike most cyclins, cyclin D expression is not cyclical, but rather it
is expressed in response to proliferative signals. Cyclin D may therefore play a role
in cellular responses to mitogenic signals.;
