CDK5R2 cyclin dependent kinase 5 regulatory subunit 2

Gene ID: 8941, updated on 24-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: P39; NCK5AI; p39nck5ai

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a neuron-specific activator of CDK5 kinase. It associates with CDK5 to form an active kinase. This protein and neuron-specific CDK5 activator CDK5R1/p39NCK5A both share limited similarity to cyclins, and thus may define a distinct family of cyclin-dependent kinase activating proteins.
