CDK means Cyclin Dependent Kinase. The cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a large family of serine–threonine kinases which control the eukaryotic cell cycle, when they are activated by the cyclin regulatory subunit. These kinases phosphorylate a very large number of protein in order to inactivate or activate them.<ref name="premier">doi:10.1007/s00894-009-0629-4</ref> | CDK means Cyclin Dependent Kinase.

'''Cyclin dependent kinase 5'''(CDK5) is a unique member of CDK family members that is not activated by a cyclin. Instead it is activated by a kinase, p35 also named Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 activator. Unlike other CDKs, it plays a major role in cell communication, cell morphology and motility. | '''Cyclin dependent kinase 5''' (CDK5) is a unique member of CDK family members that is not activated by a cyclin.
