Types
Table 1: Known CDKs, their cyclin partners, and their functions in the human and consequences of deletion in mice.
| CDK | Cyclin partner | Function | Deletion Phenotype in Mice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cdk1 | Cyclin B | M phase | None. ~E2.5. |
| Cdk2 | Cyclin E | G1/S transition | Reduced size, imparted neural progenitor cell proliferation. Viable, but both males & females sterile. |
| Cdk2 | Cyclin A | S phase, G2 phase | |
| Cdk3 | Cyclin C | G1 phase ? | No defects. Viable, fertile. |
| Cdk4 | Cyclin D | G1 phase | Reduced size, insulin deficient diabetes. Viable, but both male & female infertile. |
| Cdk5 | p35 | Transcription | Severe neurological defects. Died immediately after birth. |
| Cdk6 | Cyclin D | G1 phase | |
| Cdk7 | Cyclin H | CDK-activating kinase, transcription | |
| Cdk8 | Cyclin C | Transcription | |
| Cdk9 | Cyclin T | Transcription | Embryonic lethal |
| Cdk11 | Cyclin L | ? | Mitotic defects. E3.5. |
| ? | Cyclin F | ? | Defects in extraembryonic tissues. E10.5. |
| ? | Cyclin G | ? |

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“He types his laboured column—weary drudge!
Senile fudge and solemn:
Spare, editor, to condemn
These dry leaves of his autumn.”
—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
“As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
