Description

General description

67 kDa

The p53 tumor-suppressor gene integrates numerous signals that control cell life and death. Several novel molecules involved in p53 signaling, including Chk2, p53R2, p53AIP1, Noxa, PIDD, and PID/MTA2, were recently discovered. The checkpoint kinase Chk2 is the mammalian homologue of yeast Cds1/Rad53. In response to DNA damage, the checkpoint kinase ATM phosphorylates and activates Chk2, which in turn directly phosphorylates and activates p53. Chk2 serves as ATM downstream effector to mediate activation of p53. Chk2 also phosphorylates and activates BRCA1, the product of a tumor suppressor gene that is mutated in breast and ovarian cancer.

Immunogen

Mixture of two GST fusion proteins corresponding to residues 1-223 and 217-543 of human Chk2

Application

Anti-Chk2 Antibody, clone 7 is a mouse monoclonal antibody for detection of Chk2 also known as CHK2 checkpoint homolog (S. pombe), serine/threonine-protein kinase CHK2 & has been validated in WB, IP, ICC.

Immunoprecipitation: A previous lot of this antibody has been reported by an independent laboratory to immunoprecipitate Chk2 from HeLa cells.

Immunocytochemistry: A previous lot of this antibody has been reported by an independent laboratory to detect Chk2 in HeLa cells.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:1000 dilution from a representative lot detected Chk2 in HeLa cells.
