General description

Monoclonal Anti- hPlk1 (Polo Like Kinase 1) (mouse IgG2b isotype) is derived from the 35-206 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (PAI) and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with human full length Plk1. Polo-like kinases (Plks) are a family of serine/threonine kinases. The Plk family is structurally and functionally related to the polo gene in Drosophila. Plk1 localizes during mitosis in centrosomes, kinetochores and in the central spindle.

Immunogen

human full length Plk1.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-hPlk1 (Polo Like Kinase 1) antibody produced in mouse has been used in:
  • enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
  • immunoblotting
  • immunoprecipitation
  • immunocytochemistry
  • immunofluorescence staining

Biochem/physiol Actions

PLK1 is a serine-threonine kinase that is expressed in mitotic cells and cancers. This kinase regulates mitotic entry by modulating cdc2/cyclin B and is also involved in Nlp-mediated nucleation of microtubules .
Polo Like Kinase 1 (Plk1) has a role in tumor progression. Plk1 is a target of the DNA damage checkpoint on the basis that its activity is inhibited by DNA damage in G2 and mitosis. Moreover, Plk1 was found to bind to the sequence-specific DNA binding domain of p53. This interaction between p53 and Plk1 inhibits the transcriptional activation and the proapoptotic functions of p53.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

In animal cells, most microtubules are nucleated at centrosomes. At the onset of mitosis, centrosomes undergo a structural reorganization, termed maturation, which leads to increased microtubule nucleation activity. Centrosome maturation is regulated by several kinases, including Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1).
