Cell division cycle 2 Adenovirus (Ad-Cdc2)

Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) or cell division control protein 2 (CDC2) homolog is a highly conserved protein that functions as a serine/threonine kinase, and is a key player in cell cycle regulation. In humans, Cdk1 is encoded by the CDC2 gene. With its cyclin partners, Cdk1 forms complexes that phosphorylate a variety of target substrates; phosphorylation of these proteins leads to cell cycle progressionThis is an adenovirus expressing human CDK1/CDC2.
