Cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) is a member of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. It is located at 17q12 on the human chromosome. CDK12 is composed of 21 arginine/serine-rich (RS) motifs, a proline-rich motif in between the RS motif, a central kinase domain and a C-terminal region. CDK12 gene encodes a C-terminal repeat domain (CTD) kinase that contains an arginine/serine-rich (RS) domain (CrkRS). It is a 1490 amino acid long and colocalizes with SC35 speckles.
Synonyms: Anti-CDC2-related protein kinase 7; Anti-CRKRS; Anti-Cdc2-related kinase, arginine/serine-rich; Anti-Cell division cycle 2-related protein kinase 7; Anti-CrkRS

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: Cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) is a transcription-associated CDK. It plays a role in DNA-damage response, splicing and differentiation. Overexpression and mutation of the CDK12 gene is associated with several malignancies.
