Cyclin-K is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CCNK gene.^[3][4][5]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transcription cyclin family. These cyclins may regulate transcription through their association with and activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) that phosphorylate the C-terminal domain (CTD) of the large subunit of RNA polymerase II. This gene product may play a dual role in regulating CDK and RNA polymerase II activities.^[5]

Interactions

Cyclin K has been shown to interact with CDK9.^[4] Cyclin K also interacts with HIV nef protein.^[6]
