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:
“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)
“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
“Our major universities are now stuck with an army of pedestrian, toadying careerists, Fifties types who wave around Sixties banners to conceal their record of ruthless, beaverlike tunneling to the top.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
