A protein kinase inhibitor (PKI) is a type of enzyme inhibitor that blocks the action of one or more protein kinases. Protein kinases are enzymes that phosphorylate (add a phosphate, or PO 4, group) to a protein and can modulate its function. The phosphate groups are usually added to serine, threonine, or tyrosine amino acids on the protein.
Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B (p27 Kip1) is an enzyme inhibitor that in humans is encoded by the CDKN1B gene. [5] It encodes a protein which belongs to the Cip/Kip family of cyclin dependent kinase (Cdk) inhibitor proteins.
Model of a phosphorylated serine residue Serine in an amino acid chain, before and after phosphorylation.. Protein phosphorylation is a reversible post-translational modification of proteins in which an amino acid residue is phosphorylated by a protein kinase by the addition of a covalently bound phosphate group.
A protein kinase is a kinase which selectively modifies other proteins by covalently adding phosphates to them (phosphorylation) as opposed to kinases which modify lipids, carbohydrates, or other molecules. Phosphorylation usually results in a functional change of the target protein by changing enzyme activity, cellular location, or association ...

p21 is a potent cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CKI). The p21 (CIP1/WAF1) protein binds to and inhibits the activity of cyclin-CDK2, -CDK1, and -CDK4 /6 complexes, and thus functions as a regulator of cell cycle progression at G 1 and S phase.
The protein kinase domain is a structurally conserved protein domain containing the catalytic function of protein kinases. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Protein kinases are a group of enzymes that move a phosphate group onto proteins, in a process called phosphorylation.
A cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CKI) is a protein that interacts with a cyclin-CDK complex to inhibit kinase activity, often during G1 phase or in response to external signals or DNA damage. In animal cells, two primary CKI families exist: the INK4 family (p16, p15, p18, p19) and the CIP/KIP family (p21, p27, p57).
