CDK11A cyclin dependent kinase 11A

Gene ID: 728642, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CDC2L2; CDC2L3; p58GTA; PITSLRE; CDK11-p46; CDK11-p58; CDK11-p110

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. Members of this kinase family are known to be essential for eukaryotic cell cycle control. Due to a segmental duplication, this gene shares very high sequence identity with a neighboring gene. These two genes are frequently deleted or altered in neuroblastoma. The protein kinase encoded by this gene can be cleaved by caspases and may play a role in cell apoptosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
