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. |

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“The bourgeoisie loves so-called “positive” types and novels with happy endings since they lull one into thinking that it is fine to simultaneously acquire capital and maintain one’s innocence, to be a beast and still be happy.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“The rank and file have let their servants become their masters and dictators.... Provision should be made in all union constitutions for the recall of leaders. Big salaries should not be paid. Career hunters should be driven out, as well as leaders who use labor for political ends. These types are menaces to the advancement of labor.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
