Cdk20 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in cell division and regulation of cell cycle. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; embryonic organ development; and negative regulation of smoothened signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence. Orthologous to human CDK20 (cyclin dependent kinase 20). [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 Cdk20 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
