Cyclin D1 is a critical component of the core cell cycle machinery. Mice lacking cyclin D1 develop mammary glands that fail to undergo normal lobuloalveolar proliferation during pregnancy. Thus, cyclin D1 seems to play a critical role in pregnancy-induced proliferation of mammary epithelium. Cyclin D1 also participates in neoplasia, as the majority of human mammary carcinomas contain elevated levels of this cyclin.
细胞周期蛋白D1是核心细胞周期机制的关键组成部分。缺乏细胞周期蛋白D1的小鼠所发育出的乳腺,在孕期无法经历正常的小叶腺泡增殖。因此,细胞周期蛋白D1似乎在孕期诱导的乳腺上皮细胞增殖中发挥关键作用。细胞周期蛋白D1也参与肿瘤形成,因为大多数人类乳腺癌中这种细胞周期蛋白的水平都有所升高。
