Cdk9 cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDC2-related kinase) [ Mus musculus (house mouse) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 107951)
Symbol: Cdk9
Full name: cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDC2-related kinase)
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: PITALRE
Summary: Enables several functions, including RNA polymerase II CTD heptapeptide repeat kinase activity; chromatin binding activity; and nucleic acid binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of histone H2B ubiquitination and positive regulation of histone phosphorylation. Located in nucleus. Part of cyclin/CDK positive transcription elongation factor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early embryo; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human CDK9 (cyclin dependent kinase 9).
