CDKN1B, belongs to the Cip/Kip family of cyclin dependent kinase (Cdk) inhibitor proteins. This protein binds to and prevents the activation of cyclin E-CDK2 or cyclin D-CDK4 complexes, and thus controls the cell cycle progression at G1. It is often referred to as a cell cycle inhibitor protein because its major function is to stop or slow down the cell division cycle. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa1-198 from human CDKN1B, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E.coli.
