Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptioncdk-8 encodes a member of the cyclin-dependent serine/threonine protein kinase family orthologous to human CDK8 (OMIM:603184) which functions in transcriptional regulation with the positive regulatory factor cyclin C, is associated with the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme, and may regulate gene-specific activators; CDK-8 also contains a glutamine/asparagine-rich domain; loss of cdk-8 function via RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) results in sterility in the injected hermaphrodite, suggesting that in C. elegans, CDK-8 may play a role in germ-line development.Paper_evidence (11)

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in anchor cell and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 87 and dilated cardiomyopathy. Is an ortholog of human CDK19 (cyclin dependent kinase 19) and CDK8 (cyclin dependent kinase 8).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (32)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
