Cdk16 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of autophagy; regulation of insulin secretion involved in cellular response to glucose stimulus; and secretion by cell. Located in synaptic vesicle. Is active in synaptic vesicle membrane. Orthologous to human CDK16 (cyclin dependent kinase 16). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 rat Cdk16 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
