The gene Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) is mapped to human chromosome 10q21.1. The protein localizes in the cytoplasm and the nucleus. CDK1 is also popularly called as CDC2.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 263-287 of the C-terminus of mouse cdk1/cdc2.
Application
Anti-Cdk1 (p34cdc2) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for immunoprecipitation and western blot (chemiluminescent) at a dilution of 1:500-1:2,000 using mouse 3T3 cell lysates.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) plays a vital role in the control of eukaryotic cell cycle by modulating the centrosome cycle and the onset of mitosis. It promotes G2-M transition, and regulates G1 progress and G1-S transition via association with multiple interphase cyclins. CDK1/CDC2-cyclin-B controls pronuclear union in interphase fertilized eggs. It is essential for development of early embryonic stage. The antibody may cross-react with other cdc2-like kinase. CDK1 is a component of M-phase promoting factor. CDK1 interacts with FAC (Fanconi anemia group C protein) and the binding is important for normal G2/M progression. Similarly, Cep63 binds and recruits Cdk1 to centrosomes, thereby regulating mitotic entry. CDK2 also foms a complex with cyclin E, cyclin A and cyclin D.

Despite the critical importance of TBX5 in normal development and disease, relatively little is known about the mechanisms by which TBX5 functions in the embryonic heart. Our present studies demonstrate that TBX5 is necessary to control the length of the

In sexual reproduction, the union of the male and female pronuclei occurs in fertilized eggs to mix genetic materials derived from both parents, thereby creating a new genome for the next generation [1-4]. The process leading to pronuclear union consists

RUNX2 is a member of the runt family of DNA-binding transcription factors. RUNX2 mediates endothelial cell migration and invasion during tumor angiogenesis and is expressed in metastatic breast and prostate tumors. Our published studies showed that RUNX2 DNA-binding activity is
Cyclin E, an activator of phospho-CDK2 (pCDK2), is important for cell cycle progression in metazoans and is frequently overexpressed in cancer cells. It is essential for entry to the cell cycle from G0 quiescent phase, for the assembly of prereplication
Maturation/M-phase-promoting factor is the universal inducer of M-phase in eukaryotic cells. It is currently accepted that M-phase-promoting factor is identical to the kinase cyclin B-Cdk1. Here we show that cyclin B-Cdk1 and M-phase-promoting factor are not in fact synonymous. Instead
