Cyclin H
Encyclopedia
Cyclin-H is a protein
Protein
Proteins are biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function. A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of...

 that in humans is encoded by the CCNH gene
Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

Interactions

Cyclin H has been shown to interact
Protein-protein interaction
Protein–protein interactions occur when two or more proteins bind together, often to carry out their biological function. Many of the most important molecular processes in the cell such as DNA replication are carried out by large molecular machines that are built from a large number of protein...

 with P53
P53
p53 , is a tumor suppressor protein that in humans is encoded by the TP53 gene. p53 is crucial in multicellular organisms, where it regulates the cell cycle and, thus, functions as a tumor suppressor that is involved in preventing cancer...

, Cyclin-dependent kinase 7
Cyclin-dependent kinase 7
Cell division protein kinase 7 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CDK7 gene.The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the cyclin-dependent protein kinase family. CDK family members are highly similar to the gene products of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cdc28, and Schizosaccharomyces...

 and MNAT1
MNAT1
CDK-activating kinase assembly factor MAT1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MNAT1 gene.-Interactions:MNAT1 has been shown to interact with POU2F1, MTA1, Cyclin H, P53, Estrogen receptor alpha, MCM7 and Cyclin-dependent kinase 7....
