NCIt synonyms : EC 2.7.11.23; p34(CDC2); Cell Division Cycle 2 Protein; Cyclin-Dependent Kinase-1; CDC2; Cell Division Cycle 2; EC 2.7.11.22; p34 Protein Kinase; p34CDC2; CDK1; Cell Cycle Controller cdc2; Cell Division Control Protein 2 Homolog; Cell Division Protein Kinase 1;
NCIt definition : Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (297 aa, 34 kDa) is encoded by the human CDK1 gene. This
protein is involved in protein phosphorylation and cell cycle regulation.;
NCIt note : A serine/threonine protein kinase subunit of the M-phase promoting factor complex,
required for entry into S-phase and mitosis. A member of the CDC2/CDKX subfamily,
p34(cdc2) forms a complex with a Cyclin, and phosphorylates RNA Polymerase II. CDC2
gene expression is transcriptionally regulated and phosphorylation regulates cdc2
activity.;
