Full name: cyclin dependent kinase 16

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: PCTAIRE; PCTAIRE1; PCTGAIRE; PCTK1

Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the cdc2/cdkx subfamily of the ser/thr family of protein kinases. It may play a role in signal transduction cascades in terminally differentiated cells; in exocytosis; and in transport of secretory cargo from the endoplasmic reticulum. This gene is thought to escape X inactivation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
