Cyclin-A2 (CycA2)

Target
CycA2
Molecular classification
Cyclin
01

Overview

Cyclin-A2 is an essential regulator at multiple checkpoints within the mammalian somatic cell cycle. By activating specific kinases at precise times, it ensures orderly progression through DNA synthesis into mitosis while also playing emerging roles outside canonical cell division—including modulation of cellular architecture relevant for invasion/metastasis. Its dysregulation marks potential oncogenic transformation points across diverse cancer types.
