p16 (hereafter called p16) is a faithful cellular ally in the fight against tumorigenesis. Although its canonical pathway through retinoblastoma (RB) is well delineated, RB-independent functions for p16 are beginning to emerge. Here we summarize non-canonical roles of p16, including our recent finding on its role in nucleotide metabolism.
p16(以下称为p16)是对抗肿瘤发生的可靠细胞伙伴。尽管其通过视网膜母细胞瘤(RB)的经典途径已得到充分阐明,但p16不依赖RB的功能也开始显现。在此,我们总结p16的非经典作用,包括我们最近关于其在核苷酸代谢中作用的发现。
