INCA1


Description

The INCA1 (inhibitor of CDK, cyclin A1 interacting protein 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 17.

Inhibitor of CDK, cyclin A1 interacting protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the INCA1 gene.

INCA1 binds to CDK2-bound cyclins, inhibiting the kinase activity of CDK2. This interaction with cyclins is crucial for its function as a CDK inhibitor. INCA1 also suppresses cell growth and proliferation, potentially playing a role in cell cycle regulation. It is essential for ING5-mediated regulation of S-phase progression, enhancement of Fas-induced apoptosis, and inhibition of cell growth.

INCA1 is also known as HSD45.
