 associated with P-TEFb
P-TEFb
Positive Transcription Elongation Factor b is the key factor regulating eukaryotic mRNA transcription at the level of elongation.It is a cyclin dependent kinase, composed of Cdk9 and in humans one of three cyclins, T1, T2, or K....

.
CDK9 is also known to associate with other proteins such as TRAF2, and be involved in differentiation of skeletal muscle.

Interactions

CDK9 has been shown to interact
Protein-protein interaction
Protein–protein interactions occur when two or more proteins bind together, often to carry out their biological function. Many of the most important molecular processes in the cell such as DNA replication are carried out by large molecular machines that are built from a large number of protein...

RELA
Transcription factor p65 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RELA gene.-Interactions:RELA has been shown to interact with NFKBIB, ETHE1, NFKBIE, RFC1, TRIB3, CREB binding protein, Neutrophil cytosolic factor 1, Glucocorticoid receptor, MTPN, BRCA1, C-Fos, POU2F1, BTRC, TATA-binding...

, Cyclin T1, Retinoblastoma protein
Retinoblastoma protein
The retinoblastoma protein is a tumor suppressor protein that is dysfunctional in the majority types of cancer. One highly studied function of pRb is to prevent excessive cell growth by inhibiting cell cycle progression until a cell is ready to divide...

, Androgen receptor
Androgen receptor
The androgen receptor , also known as NR3C4 , is a type of nuclear receptor that is activated by binding of either of the androgenic hormones testosterone or dihydrotestosterone in the cytoplasm and then translocating into the nucleus...

, SKP1A
SKP1A
S-phase kinase-associated protein 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SKP1 gene.This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the SCF ubiquitin ligase protein complex. It binds to F-box proteins , such as cyclin F, S-phase kinase-associated protein 2, and other regulatory proteins...
