| - | *The representation displayed is that of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) as the protein. The ligand pictured is the oxindole inhibitor, 4-(5-bromo-2-oxo-2h-indol-3-ylazo)- benzenesulfonamide. CDK2 is part of the Ser/Thr protein kinases. CDK2 is a positive regulator of the eukaryotic cell cycle progression and is a catalytic unit that helps the cell progress from G1 to S. | + | *The representation displayed is that of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) as the protein.

Alopecia is characterized by hair loss. By inhibiting the CDK2, the cell cycle is slowed and the sensitivity to the epithelium from many cell cycle-active antitumor agents is reduced. Thus, a reduction in hair loss can be possible. |
