Cdk6 - cyclin-dependent kinase 6

Enables cyclin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cellular senescence; negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation; and regulation of myeloid cell differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including hemopoiesis; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including centrosome; nucleoplasm; and ruffle. Predicted to be part of cyclin D2-CDK6 complex and mediator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in high grade glioma; lung non-small cell carcinoma; pancreatic adenocarcinoma; pancreatic ductal carcinoma; and primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 12. Orthologous to human CDK6 (cyclin dependent kinase 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
