In a 2005 study by Ceruti et al., researchers determined that, in addition to, and perhaps even independent of its role as a cell cycle inhibitor, p19INK4d is involved in the maintenence of DNA integrity and, therefore, would contribute to cancer prevention. [3]  This study shows that p19INK4d is the only INK4 protein whose expression is induced by UV light in neuroblastoma cells, and that this expression clearly reduces UV-induced (DNA-damage-induced) apoptosis by enhancing cellular ability to repair damaged DNA.
