CDKN1C Antibody Blocking Peptide

This gene is imprinted; with preferential expression of the maternal allele. The encoded protein is a tight-binding; strong inhibitor of several G1 cyclin/Cdk complexes and a negative regulator of cell proliferation. Mutations in this gene are implicated in sporadic cancers and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndorome; suggesting that this gene is a tumor suppressor candidate. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq; Oct 2010]
