Gene Information

human ... CDK7(1022)

General description

Cell division protein kinase 7 is an enzymes encoded by the CDK7 gene in humans. The protein belongs to cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK) family. CAK is a CDK-cyclin complex implicated in the control of multiple cell cycle transitions. The structure of CDK7 facilitates the inhibitors with differential specificity for the different CDKs and can be used in different biological processes.

Specificity

The antibody reacts specifically with Cdk7 (40 kDa catalytic subunit of Cdk activating kinase).

Immunogen

recombinant human Cdk7 protein.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Cdk7/CAK antibody produced in mouse is suitable for the following applications:
  • Immunocytochemistry
  • Immunohistochemistry (frozen sections)
  • Immunoprecipitation
  • Microarray
  • Western blotting at a dilution of 1:50,000 using a cultured human cell line extract

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) Activating Kinase (CAK) is involved in activation and phosphorylation of CDK1, CDK2, CDK4 and CDK6 and regulation of the cell cycle. It is required for cell cycle progression and it could be a target for cancer therapy. CAK plays a central role in regulation of messenger RNA synthesis by either inhibition of RNA polymerase II-catalyzed transcription or stimulation of transcription through association with basal transcription repair factor IIH. Phosphorylation by the CDK-activating kinase (CAK) is required for the activation of cyclin-dependent kinases.

All cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) involved in eukaryotic cell cycle control require phosphorylation at a conserved threonine (or serine) residue within the activation- or T-loop to attain full enzymatic activity. The enzyme responsible for this activating phosphorylation, the CDK-activating kinase (CAK)

The Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) Activating Kinase (CAK) is responsible for the activating phosphorylation of CDK1, CDK2, CDK4 and CDK6 and regulation of the cell cycle. The kinase is composed of three subunits: CDK7, Cyclin H and MAT1 (ménage a trois).
