Recombinant Human CDK5 and ABL1 enzyme substrate 1 (CABLES1)

Uniprot Id

Q8TDN4

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CABLES1

Target Full Name

CDK5 and ABL1 enzyme substrate 1

Target Function

Cyclin-dependent kinase binding protein. Enhances cyclin-dependent kinase tyrosine phosphorylation by nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, such as that of CDK5 by activated ABL1, which leads to increased CDK5 activity and is critical for neuronal development, and that of CDK2 by WEE1, which leads to decreased CDK2 activity and growth inhibition. Positively affects neuronal outgrowth. Plays a role as a regulator for p53/p73-induced cell death.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Cytoplasm.

Target Protein Families

Cyclin family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in breast, pancreas, colon, head and neck (at protein level). Strongly decreased in more than half of cases of atypical endometrial hyperplasia and in more than 90% of endometrial cancers.

Target Synonyms

Target Background

This gene encodes a protein involved in regulation of the cell cycle through interactions with several cyclin-dependent kinases. One study (PMID: 16177568) reported aberrant splicing of transcripts from this gene which results in removal of the cyclin binding domain only in human cancer cells, and reduction in gene expression was shown in colorectal cancers (PMID: 17982127).Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
