The protein encoded by this gene contains a kinase domain most closely related to the cyclin-dependent protein kinases. The encoded kinase may activate cyclin-dependent kinase 2 and is involved in cell growth. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.

A study in human postmortem brain tissue demonstrated that the CDK20 mRNA was hypermethylated in the nucleus accumbens of subjects with alcohol use disorder compared to controls, with a mean methylation level of 0.168 in cases versus 0.078 in controls [Liu et al. DOI:10.3390/genes13060958]. This finding was part of a broader epitranscriptomic profile revealing 26 hypermethylated and 3 hypomethylated mRNAs in the disorder, with most associated with immune-related pathways.
