About Cdk5

Primary_assembly 4: 10,754,687-10,760,112 forward strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026977.1

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 170 orthologues, 24 paralogues and is associated with 16 phenotypes. Biased expression in Brain (RPKM 242.9), Adrenal (RPKM 12.7) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Enables several functions, including Ephrin Receptor binding activity; protein kinase activity; and voltage-gated Calcium Channel activity involved in positive regulation of presynaptic cytosolic calcium levels. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to amyloid-beta; positive regulation of apoptotic process; and protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within protein phosphorylation. Located in several cellular components, including growth cone; neuronal cell body; and postsynaptic density. Part of protein kinase 5 complex. Is active in several cellular components, including Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and neuromuscular junction. Colocalizes with microtubule. Used to study brain ischemia; mental depression; and trigeminal neuralgia. Biomarker of Alzheimer's disease; transient cerebral ischemia; and vascular dementia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and lissencephaly 7 with cerebellar hypoplasia. Orthologous to human CDK5 (cyclin dependent kinase 5).
