Anti-CHEK2 antibody produced in rabbit

产品说明

一般描述

CHEK2 is a cell cycle-checkpoint enzyme that phosphorylates BRCA1 and p53 following DNA damage. CHEK2 mutations have been linked to familial breast cancer.
Rabbit Anti-CHEK2 antibody associates with human CHEK2.

免疫原

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human CHEK2

应用

Rabbit Anti-CHEK2 antibody can be used for western blotting (0.25μg/ml) assays.

生化/生理作用

In response to DNA damage and replication blocks, cell cycle progression is halted through the control of critical cell cycle regulators. CHEK2 is a cell cycle checkpoint regulator and putative tumor suppressor. It contains a forkhead-associated protein interaction domain essential for activation in response to DNA damage and is rapidly phosphorylated in response to replication blocks and DNA damage. When activated, CHEK2 is known to inhibit CDC25C phosphatase, preventing entry into mitosis, and has been shown to stabilize the tumor suppressor protein p53, leading to cell cycle arrest in G1. In addition, this protein interacts with and phosphorylates BRCA1, allowing BRCA1 to restore survival after DNA damage. Mutations in its gene have been linked with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a highly penetrant familial cancer phenotype usually associated with inherited mutations in TP53. Also, mutations in its gene are thought to confer a predisposition to sarcomas, breast cancer, and brain tumors. This nuclear protein is a member of the CDS1 subfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases.In response to DNA damage and replication blocks, cell cycle progression is halted through the control of critical cell cycle regulators.
