Active Recombinant Human CDK8/CCNC, GST&His-tagged

• Cat.No.: CDK8/CCNC-256H
• Product Overview: Coexpression of human CDK8, amino acids M1-Y464 (as in GenBank entry NM_001260), N-terminal GST-HIS6 fusion protein with a Thrombin cleavage site and human CycC, amino acids M1-S283 (as in GenBank entry NM_005190.3), N-terminally fused to HIS6-Thrombincleavage site.

Specification

• Description: The Cdks are serine/threonine protein kinases which are predominantly involved in the progression of the cell cycle. Subsequently, CDK-cyclin complexes (CDK7, CDK8 and CDK9) were also identified as regulators of transcription. CDK8/CycC is part of the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme complex and phosphorylates the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II. On the other hand, CDK8/CycC phosphorylates cyclin H, a component of the CDK activating kinase (CAK), and represses activated transcription by modulation of TFIIH activity.
