Serine/threonine-protein kinase involved in the control of the cell cycle and differentiation; promotes G1/S transition. Phosphorylates pRB/RB1 and NPM1. Interacts with D-type G1 cyclins during interphase at G1 to form a pRB/RB1 kinase and controls the entrance into the cell cycle. Involved in initiation and maintenance of cell cycle exit during cell differentiation; prevents cell proliferation and negatively regulates cell differentiation, but is required for the proliferation of specific cell types (e.g. erythroid and hematopoietic cells). Essential for cell proliferation within the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus and the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricles. Required during thymocyte development. Promotes the production of newborn neurons, probably by modulating G1 length. Promotes, at least in astrocytes, changes in patterns of gene expression, changes in the actin cytoskeleton including loss of stress fibers, and enhanced motility during cell differentiation. Prevents myeloid differentiation by interfering with RUNX1 and reducing its transcription transactivation activity, but promotes proliferation of normal myeloid progenitors. Delays senescence. Promotes the proliferation of beta-cells in pancreatic islets of Langerhans. May play a role in the centrosome organization during the cell cycle phases (PubMed:23918663).

Cdk6 also known as Cyclin-dependent kinase 6 is a protein kinase involved in the regulation of the cell cycle. It has a molecular weight of approximately 40 kDa. Cdk6 is expressed in various tissues including lymphoid tissues and the brain. It plays a mechanical role by phosphorylating target proteins which impacts cell cycle progression particularly during the transition from G1 phase to S phase. Cdk6 can work in conjunction with D-type cyclins to form a complex that is critical for its activity.
Cdk6 functions as a regulator of the cell cycle. It participates in a complex with cyclin D to control the G1 phase progression. This activity is essential for the regulation of cell division and proliferation. The association with cyclin D allows Cdk6 to phosphorylate the retinoblastoma protein (Rb) leading to the release of E2F transcription factors that promote the expression of genes necessary for DNA synthesis.
Cdk6 is an important component of the cell cycle control pathway. It interacts primarily with the retinoblastoma protein and Cyclin D1 in this context. The cell cycle pathway is critical for controlled cell proliferation and its dysregulation can lead to diseases like cancer. Another involved pathway is the PI3K/AKT pathway which can activate Cdk6 activity through upstream signaling events implicating Cdk6 in cellular responses to growth signals.
Cdk6 has a significant role in cancer development due to its involvement in uncontrolled cell proliferation. Its overexpression or dysregulation is often linked to cancers such as leukemia and glioblastoma. In cancer the interaction with proteins like cyclin D1 can lead to unchecked progression through the cell cycle contributing to oncogenesis. Additionally Cdk6 inhibitors are being explored as therapeutic agents in cancer treatment due to their potential to restore control over cell cycle progression.
