NCIt definition : Human CDK10 wild-type allele is located within 16q24 and is approximately 61 kb in
length. This allele, which encodes cyclin-dependent kinase 10 protein, plays a role
in cell cycle progression and proliferation.;
NCIt note : CDK plays a pivotal role in the regulation of the eukaryotic cell cycle and are known
to be essential for cell cycle progression. This kinase has been shown to play roles
in cellular proliferation and its function is limited to cell cycle G2-M phase. A
variety of different transcripts exist, resulting from cryptic splice sites, exon
skipping, insertion of intronic sequences, and exon scrambling. The splicing of this
gene is complex. At least three alternatively spliced variants of this gene exist,
one of which contains multiple non-ATG translation initiation sites.;
