Description
Product Characteristics:
Associates with cyclin G and CDK5. Seems to act as an auxilin homolog that is involved in the uncoating of clathrin-coated vesicles by Hsc70 in non-neuronal cells. Expression oscillates slightly during the cell cycle, peaking at G1.Tissue specificity: Ubiquitous. Highest in testis.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Cell membrane
Synonyms: Cyclin G associated kinase, Cyclin-G-associated kinase, EC 2.7.11.1,FLJ16629, FLJ40395, GAK, GAK protein, GAK_HUMAN, MGC99654.
Target Information: In all eukaryotes, the cell cycle is governed by cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs), whose activities are regulated by cyclins and CDK inhibitors in a diverse array of mechanisms that involve the control of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of Ser, Thr or Tyr residues. Cyclins are molecules that possess a consensus domain called the 'cyclin box.' In mammalian cells, 9 cyclin species have been identified, and they are referred to as cyclins A through I. Cyclin G is a direct transcriptional target of the p53 tumor suppressor gene product and thus functions downstream of p53. GAK is an association partner of cyclin G and CDK5.
