Recombinant Human CDK8, MYC/DDK-tagged

Cat.No. : CDK8-10H
Product Overview : Recombinant Human CDK8, fused with C-terminal MYC/DDK, was expressed in HEK293 cells.
  • Specification
  • Gene Information
  • Related Products
Description : The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK) family. CDK family members are highly similar to the gene products of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cdc28, and Schizosaccharomyces pombe cdc2, and are known to be important regulators of cell cycle progression. This kinase and its regulatory subunit cyclin C are components of the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme complex, which phosphorylates the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II. This kinase has also been shown to regulate transcription by targeting the CDK7/cyclin H subunits of the general transcription initiation factor IIH (TFIIH), thus providing a link between the 'Mediator-like' protein complexes and the basal transcription machinery.

Ask a question
Is CDK8 exclusively associated with cancer, or does it have physiological roles in normal cellular functions? 01/31/2020

CDK8 plays essential roles in normal cellular functions, including development and tissue homeostasis. Its dysregulation, however, is implicated in cancer.

Can CDK8 inhibitors be used in combination with other cancer treatments, and if so, what are the potential benefits? 11/07/2019

Combination therapies involving CDK8 inhibitors are being explored to enhance treatment outcomes and reduce the likelihood of resistance, providing a more comprehensive approach to cancer management.

How does CDK8 inhibition affect the cell cycle, and why is this significant in cancer therapy? 12/30/2018

CDK8 inhibition can disrupt the cell cycle, slowing down or halting the uncontrolled cell division characteristic of cancer cells, making it a potential therapeutic strategy.

How does CDK8 influence the immune response in the tumor microenvironment? 07/21/2017

CDK8 can modulate the expression of genes involved in immune response. Understanding its role in the tumor microenvironment may lead to novel immunotherapeutic strategies.

Are there ongoing clinical trials investigating the efficacy of CDK8 inhibitors in cancer patients? 06/11/2016

Yes, several clinical trials are underway to assess the safety and effectiveness of CDK8 inhibitors as a targeted therapy for different types of cancer.
