Anti-CDK11

CDK11 is a member of the p34Cdc2 protein kinase family and is involved in cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and tumorigenesis. Many isoforms of CDK11 have been isolated. The p58 isoform has been shown to interact with cyclin D3 and to play an important role in G2/M phase progression. The p110 isoforms have been demonstrated to interact with the RNA-binding proteins RNPS1, RNA polymerase II, and many elongation factors, indicating a role in RNA metabolism in proliferating cells. Protein function: Appears to play multiple roles in cell cycle progression, cytokinesis and apoptosis. The p110 isoforms have been suggested to be involved in pre-mRNA splicing, potentially by phosphorylating the splicing protein SFRS7. The p58 isoform may act as a negative regulator of normal cell cycle progression. [The UniProt Consortium]
