Product details:
Although we aim to provide customers with a homozygous clone, feasibility will be dependent on the biology of the protein. Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.
Recommended control
: Human wild-type HCT116 cell line (ab288559). Please note a wild-type cell line is not automatically included with a knockout cell line order, if required please add recommended wild-type cell line at no additional cost using the code WILDTYPE-TMTK1.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

The protein known as p27 KIP1 also referred to as p27 CDKN1B or KIP1 is a member of the kinase inhibitory protein family. It plays an important role in cell cycle regulation by inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). p27 KIP1 weighs approximately 27 kDa and can be found in various tissues where it regulates cell proliferation. The protein functions as a suppressor by binding to cyclin-CDK complexes preventing the transition from G1 phase to S phase in the cell division cycle.
Biological function summary
The function of p27 KIP1 involves its role in controlling cell growth and division. It achieves this by becoming a part of larger protein complexes involving CDKs and cyclins. By directly interacting with these complexes p27 KIP1 modulates cell cycle progression therefore acting as a brake on cellular proliferation. The protein is important in maintaining proper cell cycle checkpoints and preventing uncontrolled cell growth which is essential for normal cellular functioning.
Pathways
The involvement of p27 KIP1 centers on cell cycle regulation and signaling pathways such as the PI3K/AKT pathway. Its interaction with CDKs and cyclins situates it within the core mechanisms that determine cell division timing. p27 KIP1 operates alongside other proteins like cyclin D and CDK4/6 fitting into the regulatory intricacies of these pathways. Proper functioning of these pathways ensures cellular homeostasis and prevents the development of oncogenic processes.
Dysfunction of p27 KIP1 has links to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Low levels or mutations can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation contributing to the development and progression of cancers such as breast cancer. p27 KIP1's role in neurodegenerative diseases involves its regulation of neuronal cell cycle re-entry with abnormalities potentially exacerbating conditions like Alzheimer's disease. In these contexts its interaction with proteins such as cyclin E and CDK2 becomes particularly relevant in understanding disease mechanisms.
