Gene Information

human ... CDKN2A(1029)

General description

Anti-p16 INK Antibody detects endogenous levels of total p16 INK protein.
Cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) also known as P16-INK4A, belongs to the Ink4 (inhibitor of CDK4) family of CDK inhibitors. It is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 9p21 within the INK4a / alternate reading frame (ARF) locus. Human P16-INK4A is localized in both nucleus and cytoplasm, and its expression increases with ageing in skin and kidney tissues.

Immunogen

The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human p16 INK.

Immunogen Range: 10-59

Application

Anti-p16 INK, N-Terminal antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blot analysis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) also known as P16-INK4A, arrests cell cycle progression by inhibiting S-phase and promotes apoptosis. The encoded protein has anti-proliferative biological activity, and is implicated in the retinoblastoma (Rb) protein pathway. P16-INK4A acts as a tumor suppressor and plays a vital role in ageing and cellular senescence. Increased expression of this protein might lead to various types of high grade cancers. P16-INK4A also facilitates cell invasion and angiogenesis. Bronchial lavage P16INK4A promoter methylation might function as a potential biomarker for diagnosis of lung cancer.
