| CDC | The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The American agency charged with tracking and investigating public health trends. Its stated mission is To promote health and quality of life by preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. A part of the U.S. Public Health Services (PHS) under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the CDC is based in Atlanta, Georgia. It publishes key health information including weekly data on all deaths and diseases reported in the United States ( Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report ) and travelers' health advisories.

| cdc gene | <molecular biology> Cell division cycle genes, of which many have now been defined, especially in yeasts. See cyclin. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cdc2+-CDC28-related protein kinase | <enzyme> From rice; key enzyme for cell cycle regulation in eukaryocytes; belongs to serine-threonine kinase subfamily Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: cdc2-cdc28-pk, cdc2-cdc28-rp kinase (26 Jun 1999) |
| cdc28 protein kinase | <enzyme> A protein kinase encoded by the saccharomyces cerevisiae cdc28 gene and required for progression from the g1 to the s phase in the cell cycle. It is a complex of approximately 160 kD containing a substrate called p40. Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| Cdc42Hs-associated kinase | <enzyme> Specifically binds cdc42hs in its GTP-bound form; 379 aa residues, mw 45 kD; aa sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| CDC5 protein kinase | <enzyme> Phosphorylates the residues that play a crucial role in mitotic function; genes msd2 and cdc5 are identical; 705 aa residues, mw 81 kD genbank m84220 Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: cdc5 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| CDC7 protein kinase | <enzyme> From saccharomyces cerevisiae; amino acid sequence has been determined; human cdc7 (hucdc7) is genbank ab003698; xenopus cdc7 (xecdc7) is genbank ab003699 Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: cdc7 gene product, hucdc7, xecdc7 (26 Jun 1999) |
| genes, cdc | Genes that code for proteins that regulate the cell division cycle. These genes form a regulatory network that culminates in the onset of mitosis by activating the p34cdc2 protein (protein p34cdc2). (12 Dec 1998) |
