Ccnk - cyclin K Gene

Predicted to enable cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity; protein kinase binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development and negative regulation of stem cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of cyclin K-CDK12 complex; cyclin K-CDK13 complex; and cyclin/CDK positive transcription elongation factor complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo ectoderm; olfactory epithelium; and retina nuclear layer. Orthologous to human CCNK (cyclin K).
