Zebrafish gene: cdkl5

Human gene: CDKL5 (cyclin dependent kinase like 5)

Homology score: 73%

ClinVar variants: 288

Gene description: Exhibits cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of axon extension; protein phosphorylation; and regulation of dendrite development. Localizes to cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; fin; gonad; heart; and muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Rett syndrome; early infantile epileptic encephalopathy 2; intellectual disability; and visual epilepsy. Orthologous to human CDKL5 (cyclin dependent kinase like 5).
