CDK13（cyclin dependent kinase 13），癌症关联基因，基因ID：8621，该基因编码的蛋白是细胞周期蛋白依赖性丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶家族的成员这个家族的成员以其在细胞周期控制中作为主开关的重要作用而闻名这种蛋白的确切功能尚未确定，但它可能在mRNA加工中发挥作用，并可能参与造血调节已经描述了选择性剪接的转录变体。[由RefSeq提供，2009年12月]The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the cyclin-dependent serine/threonine protein kinase family. Members of this family are well known for their essential roles as master switches in cell cycle control. The exact function of this protein has not yet been determined， but it may play a role in mRNA processing and may be involved in regulation of hematopoiesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq， Dec 2009]。
