Gene: CDK10

Alternate names for this Gene: ALSAS|PISSLRE

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the CDK subfamily of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family. The CDK subfamily members are highly similar to the gene products of S. cerevisiae cdc28, and S. pombe cdc2, and are known to be essential for cell cycle progression. This kinase has been shown to play a role in cellular proliferation and its function is limited to cell cycle G2-M phase. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 16

Location in Chromosome : 16q24.3

Description of this Gene: cyclin dependent kinase 10
