Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; MDM2/MDM4 family protein binding activity; and enzyme inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of lymphocyte proliferation; positive regulation of apoptotic process; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including keratinocyte proliferation; negative regulation of mammary gland epithelial cell proliferation; and negative regulation of protein metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and granular component. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; immune system; and umbilical artery. Used to study high grade glioma; malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor; melanoma (multiple); and pancreatic carcinoma (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including breast cancer (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); high grade glioma (multiple); and melanoma (multiple). Orthologous to human CDKN2A (cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

NM_001040654.1 → NP_001035744.1 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A isoform p16INK4a

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001035744.1

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) contains an alternate open reading frame, when compared to variant 1. Transcripts 1 and 2, encoding p19ARF and p16INK4a, have distinct first exons which contain the translation start codon, and share a common second exon, which is translated in different reading frames. Thus, the p16INK4a protein encoded by this variant (2) lacks sequence similarity to the protein product of variant 1 (p19ARF).

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (1) encodes the longer isoform (1, also known as p19ARF) and contains an alternate open reading frame (ARF), when compared to variant 2. Transcripts 1 and 2, encoding p19ARF and p16INK4a, have distinct first exons which contain the translation start codon, and share a common second exon, which is translated in different reading frames. Thus, the p19ARF protein encoded by this variant (1) lacks sequence similarity to the protein product of variant 2 (p16INK4a).
