Monoclonal Anti-Cdk4 antibody produced in mouse，0.5ML，C8218-.5ML，Sigma

General description

Cdk4 exists, in part, as a multi-protein complex with a D-type cyclin, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and a protein inhibitor, p21^Cip1. Cdk4 associates separately with p16, particularly in cells lacking a functional retinoblastoma protein.
Monoclonal Anti-Cdk4 (mouse IgG2a isotype) is derived from the DCS-31 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse. Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 is localized in human chromosome 12q14.1.

Immunogen

recombinant human Cdk4 protein

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Cdk4 antibody was used in:

• immunoprecipitation of human melanoma cell line.
• immunofluorescence of fibrosarcoma cells.
• western blot analysis
• immunofluorescence
• immunohistochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

In association with cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) forms active kinase complexes which is responsible for regulating cell cycle progression in eukaryotic cells. Within the complexes, the CDKs serves a catalytic protein kinase activity. This catalytic activity is regulated by two mechanisms: protein phosphorylation and association of regulatory subunits.
The antibody reacts specifically with Cdk4 and does not recognize other Cdk types.
