CDC5L

Protein-coding gene in humans

Image credit is listed at the end of this article.

Cell division cycle 5-like protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDC5L gene.

01Function

The protein encoded by this gene shares a significant similarity with Schizosaccharomyces pombe cdc5 gene product, which is a cell cycle regulator important for G2/M transition. This protein has been demonstrated to act as a positive regulator of cell cycle G2/M progression. It was also found to be an essential component of a non-snRNA spliceosome, which contains at least five additional protein factors and is required for the second catalytic step of pre-mRNA splicing.
