CDK14/Cyclin Y Proteins

Protein Information

CDK14, also known as Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 14, is a member of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) family. These kinases are essential regulators of cell cycle progression and various cellular processes. CDK14 is involved in regulating the Wnt signaling pathway, which is crucial for cell proliferation, differentiation, and development. Cyclin Y is a regulatory subunit that binds to CDK14 and activates its kinase activity. The binding of Cyclin Y to CDK14 is necessary for the proper functioning of CDK14, as cyclins typically regulate the activation and specificity of CDKs. Together, the CDK14/Cyclin Y complex plays a vital role in cellular signaling and development, particularly through the regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway.
