Product details:
Mouse p27Kip1 ELISA Kit (ab208982) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of p27Kip1 protein in cell culture extracts and tissue extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse p27Kip1 with 7.5 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B (p27Kip1) is an enzyme inhibitor that is part of the Cip/Kip family of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor proteins. p27Kip1 is a regulator of cell cycle progression involved at the G1 stage by binding to and preventing the activation of cyclin E-CDK2 or cyclin D-CDK4 complexes.

The protein known as p27 KIP1 also referred to as p27 CDKN1B or KIP1 is a member of the kinase inhibitory protein family. It plays an important role in cell cycle regulation by inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). p27 KIP1 weighs approximately 27 kDa and can be found in various tissues where it regulates cell proliferation. The protein functions as a suppressor by binding to cyclin-CDK complexes preventing the transition from G1 phase to S phase in the cell division cycle.
Biological function summary
The function of p27 KIP1 involves its role in controlling cell growth and division. It achieves this by becoming a part of larger protein complexes involving CDKs and cyclins. By directly interacting with these complexes p27 KIP1 modulates cell cycle progression therefore acting as a brake on cellular proliferation. The protein is important in maintaining proper cell cycle checkpoints and preventing uncontrolled cell growth which is essential for normal cellular functioning.
Pathways
The involvement of p27 KIP1 centers on cell cycle regulation and signaling pathways such as the PI3K/AKT pathway. Its interaction with CDKs and cyclins situates it within the core mechanisms that determine cell division timing. p27 KIP1 operates alongside other proteins like cyclin D and CDK4/6 fitting into the regulatory intricacies of these pathways. Proper functioning of these pathways ensures cellular homeostasis and prevents the development of oncogenic processes.
Dysfunction of p27 KIP1 has links to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Low levels or mutations can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation contributing to the development and progression of cancers such as breast cancer. p27 KIP1's role in neurodegenerative diseases involves its regulation of neuronal cell cycle re-entry with abnormalities potentially exacerbating conditions like Alzheimer's disease. In these contexts its interaction with proteins such as cyclin E and CDK2 becomes particularly relevant in understanding disease mechanisms.
