    regulates cell cycle progression by partnering with cyclins

    Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2 (CDK2) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in regulating the cell cycle, particularly during the transition from the G1 phase to the S phase, where the cell prepares to duplicate its DNA. It works by partnering with specific proteins called cyclins to ensure that cells divide correctly and at the right time, which is essential for normal growth and tissue repair.
