p21Cip1: a cell-cycle regulatory protein that Interacts with cyclin-CDK2 and -CDK4, inhibiting cell cycle progression at G1. Its expression is tightly controlled by p53, through which this protein mediates the p53-dependent cell cycle arrest at G1 phase.
Protein type: Inhibitor; Cell cycle regulation
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 6p21.2
Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; intracellular membrane-bound organelle; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; cyclin-dependent protein kinase holoenzyme complex; nucleus; cytosol
Molecular Function: cyclin-dependent protein kinase inhibitor activity; cyclin binding; protein binding; cyclin-dependent protein kinase activating kinase activity; metal ion binding; ubiquitin protein ligase binding; protein complex binding
Biological Process: nerve growth factor receptor signaling pathway; response to arsenic; response to toxin; DNA damage response, signal transduction by p53 class mediator resulting in cell cycle arrest; protein amino acid phosphorylation; negative regulation of cell proliferation; positive regulation of fibroblast proliferation; positive regulation of B cell proliferation; G2/M transition of mitotic cell cycle; cell cycle arrest; DNA damage response, signal transduction by p53 class mediator resulting in induction of apoptosis; response to corticosterone stimulus; response to X-ray; response to drug; epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway; organ regeneration; fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway; phosphoinositide-mediated signaling; negative regulation of cyclin-dependent protein kinase activity; response to organic nitrogen; positive regulation of programmed cell death; response to hyperoxia; positive regulation of protein kinase activity; Ras protein signal transduction; cellular response to extracellular stimulus; regulation of protein import into nucleus, translocation; innate immune response; negative regulation of phosphorylation; mitotic cell cycle; regulation of cyclin-dependent protein kinase activity; negative regulation of cell growth; response to DNA damage stimulus; negative regulation of apoptosis; G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle
