Characteristics: Key Benefits:

• Predefined custom protein - from design to production - by highly experienced protein experts.
• Protein expressed in mammalian cells and purified in one-step affinity chromatography
• The optimized expression system ensures reliability for intracellular, secreted and transmembrane proteins.
• State-of-the-art algorithm used for plasmid design (Gene synthesis).

This protein is a predefined protein and will be made for the first time for your order. Our experts in the lab try to ensure that you receive soluble protein.

If you are not interested in a full length protein, please contact us for individual protein fragments.

The big advantage of ordering our predefined custom proteins in comparison to ordering custom-made proteins from other companies is that there is no financial obligation in case the protein cannot be expressed or purified.

Target Details

Target: CDK8 (Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 8 (CDK8))

Alternative Name: Cdk8 (CDK8 Products)

Background: Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (EC 2.7.11.22) (EC 2.7.11.23) (Cell division protein kinase 8) (Mediator complex subunit CDK8) (Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit CDK8),FUNCTION: Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in regulated gene transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. Mediator functions as a bridge to convey information from gene-specific regulatory proteins to the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. Mediator is recruited to promoters by direct interactions with regulatory proteins and serves as a scaffold for the assembly of a functional pre-initiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors. Phosphorylates the CTD (C-terminal domain) of the large subunit of RNA polymerase II (RNAp II), which may inhibit the formation of a transcription initiation complex. Phosphorylates CCNH leading to down-regulation of the TFIIH complex and transcriptional repression. Recruited through interaction with MAML1 to hyperphosphorylate the intracellular domain of NOTCH, leading to its degradation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P49336}.
