CDK10
Description
CDK10, also known as cyclin-dependent kinase 10, is a crucial enzyme involved in the intricate dance of cell division. As a member of the CDK family, CDK10 plays a critical role in regulating the cell cycle, ensuring accurate and timely progression through its stages. Its activity is tightly controlled by interactions with cyclin partners and post-translational modifications, fine-tuning its impact on cellular processes. Beyond cell cycle control, CDK10 has emerged as a player in diverse cellular functions, including DNA repair, apoptosis, and even the regulation of gene expression.
