{"symbol":"CDK11A","synonyms":["CDC2L2","PITSLRE","CDC2L3","P58GTA"],"name":"cyclin-dependent kinase 11A","description":"This gene encodes a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. Members of this kinase family are known to be essential for eukaryotic cell cycle control. Due to a segmental duplication, this gene shares very high sequence identity with a neighboring gene. These two genes are frequently deleted or altered in neuroblastoma. The protein kinase encoded by this gene can be cleaved by caspases and may play a role in cell apoptosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
