Scientific Background :p18INK4C is a member of the INK4 family of proteins that regulate the G1 to S cell cycle transition by binding to and inhibiting the pRb kinase activity of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (1). Mutation of p18INK4C impairs B-cell terminal differentiation and confers increased susceptibility to tumor development. p18INK4C can function as a tumor suppressor gene in Hodgkins lymphoma and its inactivation may contribute to the cell cycle deregulation and defective terminal differentiation characteristic of the Reed-Sternberg cells (2).
Molecular Weight :~42 kDa
