[The function and molecular mechnism of cyclin Y protein].
A novel cyclin, cyclin Y, is one of the most highly conserved members of the cyclin superfamily, which is famous for their important roles in regulating the cell cycle and transcription. Recently, it was found that cyclin Y was up-regulated in many cancers. Cyclin Y may play a crucial role in tumor progression. The function and molecular mechanism of cyclin Y protein will be discussed in this paper.
