CDK5 regulatory subunit associated protein 1-like 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDKAL1 gene.[1]
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the methylthiotransferase family. The function of this gene is not known. Genome-wide association studies have linked single nucleotide polymorphisms in an intron of this gene with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes`. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010].[1]
