CDK11A

CDK11A (Cyclin Dependent Kinase 11A) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CDK11A include Neuroblastoma. Among its related pathways are Regulation of PLK1 Activity at G2/M Transition and Cell Cycle, Mitotic. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include transferase activity, transferring phosphorus-containing groups and protein tyrosine kinase activity. An important paralog of this gene is CDK11B.

Cyclin Dependent Kinase 11A

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.

Cytoplasm; Nucleus

During apoptosis, induced by Fas or tumor necrosis factor, specific CKD11 p110 isoforms are cleaved by caspases to produce a protein (p110C) that contains the C-terminal kinase domain of the CDK11 proteins.
