Cdk18 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of cell cycle phase transition. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; immune system; liver; and lung. Orthologous to human CDK18 (cyclin dependent kinase 18).

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 Cdk18 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
