NCIt definition : Human CDK5 wild-type allele is located within 7q36 and is approximately 4 kb in length.
This allele, which encodes cyclin-dependent kinase 5 protein, is involved in cell
cycle regulation.;
NCIt note : CDK5 contains a catalytic and a regulatory subunit and is involved in cell cycle control.
Expressed predominantly in neurons, CDK5 belongs to the CDC2/CDKX subfamily, interacts
with D1- and D3-type G1 cyclins, and phosphorylates histone H1, TAU, MAP2, NF-H, and
NF-M.;
