A <CDK-activating kinase> is a <protein kinase> supplying activating <phosphorylation> to a <cyclin-dependent kinase 1> preparation. The <Xenopus laevis> experiment above distinguished this activity from the catalytic activity of <Cdc2> itself. <CAK> names that function here, without asserting that every <species> uses the same <protein> assembly.
