CDK2 Proteins

Protein Information

CDK2/cyclinO is a member of the cyclin dependent protein kinase family complexed to CyclinO. CyclinO was used as a specific protein isoform name for the UNG gene which is localized exclusively in the nucleus. In addition, CyclinO was reported to shows significant uracil-DNA glycosylase activity. CDK2/cyclinO protein levels increase during G1 phase and the protein is turned over during the course of cell cycle. The levels of cyclin A-cdk2 is maximal at the G1/S transition and both cdk2 and cyclin A are found associated with DNA in the initiation complex during replication. Rb protein acts as substrate for cdk2-cyclin E and/or cdk2-cyclin A in vivo. Cdk2 is activated and specifically localized to the nucleus during late G1-, S-, and G2-phase.
