Functional narrative |
CDK-inhibitor 1 is a member of the CDI family with a subcellular location in the nucleus. p21 mediates G1/S arrest through inhibition of Cdks and possibly through inhibition of DNA replication. CDK-inhibitor 1 (p21) interacts with Zinc and it will attach to multiple families of cyclin-Cdks including cyclin E-Cdk2 and cyclin D-Cdk4. Amino acids 17-77 have been shown to be the binding region of the sequence.
