Background Information
P16-INK4A is also named as CDKN2A, MLM, Tumor suppressor ARF, Alternative reading frame. The tumor suppressor protein p16Ink4a (encoded from the CDKN2A locus) is often transcriptionally activated in cells undergoing senescence and is one of the main regulators of this program, and it is upregulated in multiple tissues during aging. p16-Ink4a is the principal member of the Ink4 family of CDK inhibitors. p16-Ink4a contributes to the regulation of cell cycle progression by inhibiting the S phase. p16Ink4a binds to CDK4/6, inhibiting cyclin D-CDK4/6 complex formation and CDK4/6-mediated phosphorylation of Rb family members. Expression of p16-Ink4a maintains the Rb family members in a hypophosphorylated state, which promotes binding to E2F1 and leads to G1 cell cycle arrest.
