Abstract

Mammalian cell cycles are tightly regulated by cyclins, cyclin dependent kinase (CDK), Retinoblatoma (Rb) protein, and cellular CDK inhibitors (CDKI). Cyelin dependent kinases (CDK) are key enzymes regulating eukaryotic cell cycle. And also it is recognized that the abnormal increase of CDK activities is one of the common events in human cancer and CDK inhibitors have therapeutic values in cancer treatment. Until now it is known that over 10 different CKDs participate in cell cycle regulation. (omitted)
