CDK4 – a master regulator of the cell cycle

The mammalian cell cycle can be divided into four stages, namely Gap 1 (G1 stage), Synthesis (S stage), Gap 2 (G2 stage), and Mitosis (M stage). Its sequence and time are crucial for the accurate transmission of genetic information. Therefore, some biochemical pathways have evolved to ensure that the initiation of a specific cell cycle event depends on the accurate completion of another event. These biochemical pathways are called “checkpoints”….
