New cards

Contact Inhibtion

Shuts off cell division when new cells come into contact with old cells. Prevents overproduction of cells.

2
New cards

Cyclin

Regulatory protein produced by the cell during the G1 phase. Its job is to regulate and stimulate cell division. Accumulates in the cell and when there is enough, it is pushed into the S phase. Substrate for enzyme CDK

3
New cards

CDK

Enzyme proteins that are naturally produced in the cell. When bound with cyclin, they promote a chain of reactions. Leads to production of MPF

4
New cards

MPF

Accumulation of MPF’s signal to begin cell division. Cyclin is converted to MPF by CDK

5
New cards

Carcinoma

Cancer of epithelial tissue

6
New cards

Sarcoma

Cancer of connective tissue
