Gene: CDK17

Alternate names for this Gene: PCTAIRE2|PCTK2

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the cdc2/cdkx subfamily of the ser/thr family of protein kinases. It has similarity to a rat protein that is thought to play a role in terminally differentiated neurons. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12q23.1

Description of this Gene: cyclin dependent kinase 17

Type of Gene: protein-coding
