Anti-cdc2

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

Anti-CDK1 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.Western Blotting (1 paper)

Biochem/physiol Actions

CDK1 (cyclin-dependent kinase 1) gene encodes a protein that belongs to the Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CDKs catalyze the transfer of phosphate from ATP to specific protein substrates and function in cell cycle processes. It forms a subunit of a protein kinase complex known as M-phase promoting factor (MPF). The complex is involved in G1/S and G2/M phase transitions of eukaryotic cell cycle. In the absence of interphase Cdks (Cdk2, Cdk3, Cdk4 and Cdk6), Cdk1 binds to all cyclins, phosphorylates the retinoblastoma protein pRb and regulates the expression of genes controlled by E2F transcription factors. It drives all the events required for mammalian cell division even in the absence of other Cdks. It functions in double-strand break (DSB)-induced homologous recombination at any stage of the cell cycle. It recruits single-stranded DNA-binding complex, RPA, and the Rad51 recombination protein at the DSB ends and ensures efficient 5′ to 3′ resection.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways: IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues. Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
