Function

C. elegans CDKL-1, most closely related to CDKL1(PMID: 29420175).

Model organism evidence

C. elegans (3 references)

Here we show that CDKL-1 is largely dispensable for regulation of complex cilia structures.

elegans CDKL-1, related to the human CDKL kinase family (CDKL1/CDKL2/CDKL3/CDKL4/CDKL5), specifically controls the length of the proximal segment, a ciliary subdomain conserved in evolution from Tetrahymena motile cilia to C.
