The Cyclin D1 gene (also known as CCND1) is precisely located on Chromosome 11 in humans, specifically at the 11q13.3 band.
The Cyclin D family of genes plays a crucial role in regulating the cell cycle, particularly in the G1 phase. Cyclin D1, in particular, is an important regulator that promotes cell division and proliferation. Its precise location on the human genome is well-defined:
Cyclin D1 Gene Location (Human)
| Category | Location Detail |
|---|---|
| Chromosome | Chromosome 11 |
| Band | 11q13.3 |
This genetic locus is significant because alterations or amplifications in this region can be associated with various cancers, highlighting its importance in cellular growth control. For more detailed information, you can refer to resources on Cyclin D1 on Wikipedia.
