Public Gene Name

cki-2  

Sequence Name

T05A6.2  

WB ID

WBGene00000517  

Description

cki-2 encodes a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor of the CIP/KIP family, orthologous to human CDKN1C (OMIM:600856, which when mutated leads to Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome) that may play a role in cell cycle progression during embryogenesis; CKI-2 interacts with PCN-1, a proliferating cell nuclear antigen homolog, SMO-1, a SUMO (ubiquitin related) homolog, and the RING domain-containing protein C06A5.9.
