title: Molecular cloning and characterisation of a mouse gene encoding an isoform of the neuronal cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) activator.
abstract: We have isolated and characterised the mouse gene for the p39 activator, designated p39is, which encodes a protein of 369 amino acids. The mouse p39 protein exhibits 95% amino acid identity to a previously characterised human p39 cDNA and the novel gene sequence corresponds to a single genomic locus in mouse. The p39is mRNA is highly expressed in the mouse central nervous system.
