Cyclin-Dependent Kinase
Definition 1
Cyclin-dependent kinases are eukaryotic, phosphoregulated protein kinases that associate with cyclins to control cell cycle progression. (NCI Thesaurus)
Definition 2
Protein kinases that control cell cycle progression in all eukaryotes and require physical association with CYCLINS to achieve full enzymatic activity. Cyclin-dependent kinases are regulated by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation events. (NLM, Medical Subject Headings)
