Protocol Available protocols: Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized) Specificity / Sensitivity CDK4 (D9G3E) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (PE Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of total CDK4 protein. In COS-7 cells, this antibody recognizes a 40 kDa background band of unknown origin. This antibody conjugate does not cross-react with CDK1, 2, or 6. Species Reactivity: Human, Monkey Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human CDK4 protein. Background Cyclin-dependent kinase activity is regulated by T-loop phosphorylation (Thr172 in the case of CDK4), by the abundance of their cyclin partners, and by association with CDK inhibitors of the Cip/Kip or INK family of proteins (1). The inactive ternary complex of CDK4/cyclin D and p27 Kip1/Cip1 requires extracellular mitogenic stimuli for the release and degradation of p27, which affects progression through the restriction point and pRb-dependent entry into S-phase (2). The active complex of CDK4/cyclin D targets the retinoblastoma protein for phosphorylation, allowing the release of E2F transcription factors that activate G1/S-phase gene expression (3). In HeLa cells, upon UV irradiation, upregulation of p16 INK4A association with CDK4/cyclin D3 leads to a G2 delay, implicating CDK4/cyclin D3 activity in progression through the G2-phase of the cell cycle (4).
