Document Summary

Some cells divide frequently throughout life of an organism while others divide in response to stimuli such as tissue damage or infection. Still other cells most cells in the brain, heart, and skeletal muscles never divide in an adult. The activities of specific enzymes drive the cell cycle. The cell cycle is controlled by a family of proteins called cyclin-dependent kinases, Most cells in your body are in the g1 phase of the cell cycle, and will divide only if it receives signals from hormone-like molecules called growth factors. When a cell is stimulated by growth factors, it synthesizes cyclin proteins that bind to specific cdks. The cyclin-cdk complexes then stimulate the synthesis and activity of proteins that are required for dna synthesis to occur. Finally, still other cdks stimulate processes that allow the sister chromatids to separate into individual chromosomes and move to opposite poles of the cell during anaphase.
