CDK7

cyclin-dependent kinase 7

On chromosome: 5q12.1
Known also as: CAK1; MO15; STK1; CDKN7; p39MO15;


NCBI Gene ID: 1022
NCBI Ensembl Id: ENSG00000134058
MIM Id: (from NCBI OMIM database) 601955
Species: Homo sapiens

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK) family. CDK family members are highly similar to the gene products of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cdc28, and Schizosaccharomyces pombe cdc2, and are known to be important regulators of cell cycle progression. This protein forms a trimeric complex with cyclin H and MAT1, which functions as a Cdk-activating kinase (CAK). It is an essential component of the transcription factor TFIIH, that is involved in transcription initiation and DNA repair. This protein is thought to serve as a direct link between the regulation of transcription and the cell cycle. [provided by RefSeq]
