| Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in testis. Expressed at a low level in wide range of tissues including bone marrow, brain, heart, kidney, colon, liver, placenta, spleen, skeletal muscle, salivary gland, thyroid gland, thymus, trachea and uterus. Expressed at a slightly higher level in adrenal gland, cerebellum, small intestine, lung, prostate and trachea. Expression is cell cycle-dependent, being restricted to cells in G1/S phase. |
| Function | Regulates the G1/S phase transition of the cell cycle by binding and activating CDK1 and CDK2. Contributes to CDK2 activation without promoting CDK2 phosphorylation, by inducing a conformation change of the CDK2 T-loop that obstructs the substrate-binding cleft prior to kinase activation. Mediates cell survival during the DNA damage process through activation of CDK2. |
