What is Cyclin-Dependent Kinase?

Is a member of the protein kinase family and relies on binding to cyclins to perform key functions of the orderly cell cycle. Different CDK-cyclin protein complexes phosphorylate specific target proteins and stimulate the smooth progress of each phase of the cell cycle. When cell cycle proteins or CDK inhibitors are lacking, they lose their activity, stagnate cell proliferation, and even die. CDK regulates cell cycle operation by regulating target protein phosphorylation.
