Tumor suppressor pRb/p105, pRb/p107, and pRb2/p130 genes belong to the retinoblastoma (Rb) gene family. The members of the Rb gene family and the transcription factor E2F play an essential role in regulating cell cycle and, consequently, cell proliferation. This mini-review describes the mechanisms by which Rb family members and E2F regulate cell cycle progression.
肿瘤抑制因子pRb/p105、pRb/p107和pRb2/p130基因属于视网膜母细胞瘤(Rb)基因家族。Rb基因家族成员和转录因子E2F在调节细胞周期以及由此调节细胞增殖中发挥着至关重要的作用。这篇小型综述描述了Rb家族成员和E2F调节细胞周期进程的机制。
