OverviewNCBI Gene

In all eukaryotes, the cell cycle is governed by cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs), whose activities are regulated by cyclins and CDK inhibitors in a diverse array of mechanisms that involve the control of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of Ser, Thr or Tyr residues. Cyclins are molecules that possess a consensus domain called the 'cyclin box.' In mammalian cells, 9 cyclin species have been identified, and they are referred to as cyclins A through I. Cyclin G is a direct transcriptional target of the p53 tumor suppressor gene product and thus functions downstream of p53. GAK is an association partner of cyclin G and CDK5. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads GAK as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GAK could matter depends on whether native GAK is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GAK is annotated at the cell surface, where native GAK is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label GAK as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
