CET1n

CET1n is a gene that encodes a protein involved in cell division. Specifically, it is a subunit of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), which plays a crucial role in regulating the cell cycle progression. The protein produced by the CET1n gene helps to control the transition from one phase of the cell cycle to the next, ensuring that DNA replication and chromosome segregation occur accurately. Mutations or alterations in CET1n expression have been linked to various cellular abnormalities, including uncontrolled cell proliferation, which is a hallmark of cancer. Research into CET1n's function is ongoing to better understand its precise mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets for diseases involving cell cycle dysregulation. The gene is found in a variety of organisms, suggesting a conserved and fundamental role in eukaryotic cell division. Its interaction with other cell cycle regulators is a complex area of study within molecular biology.
