Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 7

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Enzyme

**Definition:** Cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (346 aa, ~39 kDa) is encoded by the human CDK7 gene. This protein is involved in the mediation of protein phosphorylation that regulates both RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription and cell cycle progression.
