Cyclin-dependent protein kinase 2 (Cdk2), also known as cell division protein kinase 2, is a 34-kD nuclear protein that regulates events within G1 and S phase in the human cell cycle (1-4). Cdk2 is inactive until a complex is formed with cyclin A, D, or E (2). Inhibitory phosphorylation occurs on Thr14 and Tyr15. Activation of the Cdk2 complex requires dephosphorylation of Thr14 and Tyr15 by cdc25 phosphatase and phosphorylation of Thr160, which is mediated by CAK (3,4).
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions:
Western Blot: 1:5000-1:20,000
Immunoprecipitation: 1:50
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
