Mitotic Gatekeeper, Essential Cell-Cycle Engine, and Therapeutic Vulnerability
Cell cycle control to gene expression regulation and apoptosis, CDK1 is intimately involved in many cellular events that are vital for cell survival.
CDK1 is a significant biomarker in various cancers, with its overexpression often correlating with aggressive tumor characteristics and poor prognosis. Targeting CDK1 may offer therapeutic potential, especially in cancers where its expression is linked to unfavorable outcomes.
