A cyclin-dependent kinase 5-derived peptide inhibits Cdk5/p25 activity and improves neurodegenerative phenotypes
2020-05-14
Abstract excerpt
Aberrant activity of cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk5) has been implicated in various neurodegenerative diseases. This effect is mediated by pathological cleavage of the Cdk5 activator p35 to produce the truncated product p25, exhibiting increased stability and altered substrate specificity. The benefit of blocking p25 production has been demonstrated in various rodent and human neurodegenerative models. However, imp...
