Gene Summary

Gene Symbol
Cdk4

Model Description

Exon 3-7 of Cdk4 gene was deleted to generate Cdk4 knockout mice.
Research Application:The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family.It is a catalytic subunit of the protein kinase complex that is important for cell cycle G1 phase progression. The activity of this kinase is restricted to the G1-S phase, which is controlled by the regulatory subunits D-type cyclins and CDK inhibitor p16(INK4a). This kinase was shown to be responsible for the phosphorylation of retinoblastoma gene product (Rb).
