CDK5 is an unconventional member of the CDK family. It is expressed in post-mitotic neurons, and its activity is regulated by neuron-specific activators p35/p25 and p39 rather than the cyclins. It has been suggested that CDK5 plays several roles in the nervous system, including Tau aggregation and tangle formation. The CDK5 Assay Kit is designed to measure CDK5 activity for screening and profiling applications, using Kinase-Glo® MAX as a detection reagent.
