NCIt definition : Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B (198 aa, 22 kDa) is encoded by the human CDKN1B
gene. This protein plays a role in cell cycle arrest.;
NCIt note : This protein binds to and prevents the activation of cyclin E-CDK2 or cyclin D-CDK4
complexes, and thus controls the cell cycle progression at G1. The degradation of
this protein, which is triggered by its CDK dependent phosphorylation and subsequent
ubiquitination by SCF complexes, is required for the cellular transition from quiescence
to the proliferative state. (LocusLink);
