Protein p27 , belonging to the family of inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinase called CIP / KIP , is currently the subject of intensive research in the field of cell biology and pathomechanisms of proliferative processes , because it not only controls the cell cycle by regulating the activity of CDK -cyclin complexes , but also participates in the induction apoptosis. P27 regulates the activity of CDK -cyclin holoenzymów in two ways. First, it inhibits the kinase activity of the complexes .
