Alternative Names:
Cyclin-dependent kinase 1, CDK1, 2.7.11.22, 2.7.11.23, Cell division control protein 2 homolog, Cell division protein kinase 1, p34 protein kinase, Cdk1, Cdc2, Cdc2a, Cdkn1
P34(cdc2), also known as cell division cycle(CDC2), or cyclin-dependent kinase 1(CDK1). CDC2 is a catalytic subunit of a protein kinase complex, called the M-phase promoting factor, that induces entry into mitosis and is universal among eukaryotes. In HeLa cells CDC2 is the most abundant phosphotyrosine-containing protein and its phosphotyrosine content is subject to cell cycle regulation. CDC2 gene is located on chromosome 10.
