    basic FUNCTION
  • inhibitor of CDK4/CDK6 dependent phosphorylation of RB1 and so regulator of the G1 progression
  • CDKN2A and CDKN2B play a key role in the control of the G1/S transition of the cell cycle
  • is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor that forms a complex with CDK4 or CDK6 and prevents their activation, resulting in inhibition of cell-cycle progression at the G1/S transition
  • loss of CDKN2B promotes atherosclerosis by increasing the size and complexity of the lipid-laden necrotic core through impaired efferocytosis
    • CELLULAR PROCESS cell cycle, progression

    PATHWAY

    a component
  • forming a complex with CDK4, CDK5
    • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • expression levels of CDKN2A, CDKN2B, and CDKN2BAS are positively correlated
  • is a key regulator of cell proliferation that inhibits cell-cycle progression by blocking the activity of CDK4 and CDK6
  • ZNF217/CoREST complex and specific DNMTs combine likely to generate a hypermethylated state resulting in repression of the CDKN2B gene
  • TDG regulates TGFB1-dependent promoter demethylation and expression of the CDKN2B tumor suppressor gene
  • DLC1 inactivation cooperates with downregulation of CDKN2B and CDKN2A, leading to neoplastic transformation and poor prognosis in cancer
  • SMAD2 overexpression inhibits the proliferation of junctional epithelium (JE) cells by down-regulating MYC and up-regulating CDKN2B and CDKN1B, which resulted in an increase in RB1, leading to cell-cycle arrest
  • ZBTB17 activates the transcription of a number of target genes including the cell cycle inhibitor CDKN2B
  • control of CD8 T cell proliferation and terminal differentiation by active STAT5B and CDKN2A/CDKN2B
  • ASXL1-mediated HIST2H2AC deubiquitylation and transcriptional activation of CDKN2B expression are linked to its tumor suppressor functions
  • TINCR could bind to STAU1 (staufen1) protein, and influence CDKN2B mRNA stability and expression, thereby affecting the proliferation of gastric cancer (GC)cells
