Since it was identified a decade ago, cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) has emerged as a
crucial regulator of neuronal migration in the developing central nervous system. CDK5
phosphorylates a diverse list of substrates, implicating it in the regulation of a range of
cellular processes? from adhesion and motility, to synaptic plasticity and drug addiction.
Recent evidence indicates that deregulation of this kinase is involved in the pathology of
neurodegenerative diseases.
