Cdk12 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables protein kinase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of stem cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in nuclear speck. Predicted to be part of cyclin K-CDK12 complex and cyclin/CDK positive transcription elongation factor complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; early embryo; future brain; primitive streak; and unsegmented mesenchyme. Orthologous to human CDK12 (cyclin dependent kinase 12).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Cdk12 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
