Scientific Background

Cyclin D2, also known as CCND2, is a human gene. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the highly conserved cyclin family, whose members are characterized by a dramatic periodicity in protein abundance through the cell cycle. Cyclins function as regulators of CDK kinases. Different cyclins exhibit distinct expression and degradation patterns which contribute to the temporal coordination of each mitotic event. Cyclin D1, Cyclin D2 and Cyclin D3 are the members of the cyclin family. Cyclin D2 mapped to 12p13, since the CCND1 gene is on 11q13, this may be another bit of evidence of the homology of chromosomes 11 and 12. Choi D et al proved the expression of pseudogene cyclin D2 mRNA in the human ovary increases with age, which may be a novel marker for decreased ovarian function associated with the aging process. And knockout studies of the homologous gene in mouse suggest the essential roles of this gene in ovarian granulosa and germ cell proliferation. High level expression of this gene was observed in ovarian and testicular tumors.
