About Cdk8

Chromosome 5: 146,168,040-146,239,684 forward strand.GRCm39:CM000998.3

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 217 orthologues, 25 paralogues and is associated with 17 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in adrenal adult (RPKM 21.2), ovary adult (RPKM 18.4) and 28 other tissues.

Summary

Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II CTD heptapeptide repeat kinase activity and cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein phosphorylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within phosphorylation. Part of mediator complex. Is expressed in embryo. Orthologous to human CDK8 (cyclin dependent kinase 8).
