epitope corresponding to amino acids 1-291 representing full length Cdk5 of human origin
recommended for detection of Cdk5 of mouse, rat and human origin by WB, IP, IF and ELISA; minimal cross-reactivity with other cyclin dependent kinases; also reactive with additional species, including equine, bovine, porcine and avian
Cdk5 Background Information Cell cycle progression is controlled in part by a family of cyclin proteins and cyclin dependent kinases (Cdks). Cdk proteins work in concert with the cyclins to phosphorylate key substrates involved in each phase of cell cycle progression. Another family of proteins, Cdk inhibitors, also plays a role in regulating cell cycle by binding to cyclin-Cdk complexes and modulating their activity. Several Cdk proteins have been identified, including Cdk2-Cdk8, PCTAIRE-1–3, PITALRE and PITSLRE. Cdk5 is thought to be involved in the G1-S transition of the cell cycle and is highly expressed in mature neurons. Activity of Cdk5 increases significantly during neuronal differentiation. Cdk5 has been postulated to be a neurofilament or tau protein kinase, based on its ability to phosphorylate these proteins in vitro.
