Target Information

CDK4/cyclin D3 serine/threonine kinase is a dimeric protein complex. CDK4 belongs to the cyclin-dependent protein kinase family and plays a key role in controlling cell proliferation during the G1 phase of the cell cycle.
CDK4 forms a complex with D-type cyclins and is inhibited by p16 (cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor-2). It mediates phosphorylation of the C-terminal region of the Rb protein, leading to active transcriptional repression of the E2F complex.
CDC37 and HSP90 preferentially associate with the fraction of CDK4 not bound to D-type cyclins. SMAD3 is a major physiological substrate of G1 cyclin-dependent kinases CDK4 and CDK2.
Although CDK6 and CDK4 can both phosphorylate multiple residues on the Rb protein, they show different residue selectivity in vitro; CDK6 phosphorylates Thr821, while CDK4 phosphorylates Thr826.
