Marker
Therapy target
  • may be a suitable drug target in melanoma because of its depletion suppressing growth and cell cycle progression
  • interfering RNA depletion of Cdk2 prevented cell-cell detachment induced by pemphigus vulgaris sera (
  • pharmacological inhibition of Cdk2 activity through roscovitine prevented blister formation and acantholysis in the mouse model of the pemphigus vulgaris disease (
  • ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • mouse embryonic fibroblats lacking CDK2 proliferates normally and become immortal after continuous passage in culture (
  • Cdk2-/- mice are viable and survive for up to two years (
  • Cdk2 loss does not affect oligodendrocyte progenitor cell cell cycle, oligodendrocyte cell numbers, or myelination during central nervous system development (
