Summary
Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Part of mediator complex. Is expressed in embryo; tibialis anterior; and tongue. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human CDK8 (cyclin dependent kinase 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
