| Gene Summary |
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; MDM2/MDM4 family protein binding activity; and enzyme inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of lymphocyte proliferation; positive regulation of apoptotic process; and regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including keratinocyte proliferation; negative regulation of mammary gland epithelial cell proliferation; and negative regulation of protein metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and granular component. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; immune system; and umbilical artery. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including breast cancer (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); melanoma (multiple); and pancreatic cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human CDKN2A (cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A). |
