ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

CDK12

CDK12 is like a really cool tool for your body that helps you build things. Imagine you're playing with Lego blocks and you want to build a spaceship. You have all the pieces, but you need something to help you put them together in the right way. CDK12 is like that helper.

In your body, there are tiny things called molecules that help make up everything in your body, including your cells. CDK12 helps put together these molecules in the right way to make certain proteins.

Proteins are really important because they do all sorts of things in your body, like help your muscles move, tell your brain to do things, and keep your organs working. Without proteins, your body wouldn't be able to do all the amazing things it does.

So basically, CDK12 is like a team leader that helps make sure all the little molecules in your body work together to create important proteins. Without it, things could get pretty chaotic and your body might not work as well as it should.
