= CCNP = Cyclin P is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CCNP gene.

Function
CCNP is a member of the cyclin family, characterized by their cyclin box domain (CBD) which interacts with CDK’s. Belongs to the atypical cyclin group, known for their structural and functional differences compared to the canonical and transcriptional groups. No CDK partners of Cyclin P have been found.

CCNP has been observed to be overexpressed in samples from lung and colon cancer patients, where it promotes tumour cell proliferation and migration, as seen in vivo and in vitro.

Other studies have shown that CCNP enhances viral replication and correlates with the expression of Epstein-Barr virus genes.
