Biological function summary
The activity of Cdk8 integrates into critical processes involving cellular growth and gene expression. Cdk8 forms a part of the Mediator complex alongside cyclin C MED12 and MED13 regulating transcriptional initiation. This kinase plays a role in the modulation of RNA polymerase II activity with its regulation affecting diverse gene expression patterns within the cell.
Pathways
Cdk8 participates significantly in Wnt/β-catenin and MAPK signaling pathways. Its involvement in the Wnt pathway affects cellular proliferation and differentiation with implications for development and tumorigenesis. Related proteins within these pathways include β-catenin and MAPK which interact closely with the regulatory functions governed by Cdk8 to ensure proper signaling transduction.
