CDK8 (cyclin-dependent kinase 8; also K35) is a 53-55 kDa member of the CDC2/CDKX subfamily, CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family of enzymes. Together with cyclin C, MED12 and MED13, CDK8 forms a "CDK8 module" that contributes to the structure of a four module Mediator complex. CDK8 would appear to have multiple functions. It can block transcription, and the re-initiation of transcription; it can also promote the transcription of thyroid hormone target genes; and it appears to phosphorylate the ICD of Notch, promoting its degradation. Human CDK8 is 464 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one protein kinase domain (aa 21-335) and two utilized phosphorylation sites at Thr410 and Ser413. There are two potential alternative start sites at Met174 and Met61. Over aa 380-464, human CDK8 shares 98% aa identity with mouse CDK8.
