Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) belongs to the CDKs family. Active CDK5 is present in pancreatic β cells, corneal epithelial cells and monocytes. This gene is mapped to human chromosome 7q36.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human CDK5 around the phosphorylation site of Tyr15.
Immunogen Range: 1-50
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) controls migration and neuronal plasticity. This protein participates in neuron migration, neurite outgrowth and support and synaptogenesis. It also helps in the development of lymphatic vessels. Suppressing Cdk5 promotes cell death of tumor-initiating cells.
