Type: tumor suppressor protein

p16 is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating the cell cycle and preventing cancer. It is a tumor suppressor protein that helps to prevent the uncontrolled growth of cells. p16 is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, which means that it helps to regulate the activity of certain enzymes (cyclin-dependent kinases) that drive the cell cycle forward. By inhibiting these enzymes, p16 helps to slow down or stop the cell cycle, giving the cell time to repair any DNA damage that may have occurred.
p16 has been shown to be inactivated in many types of cancer, including breast, lung, and colon cancer.
