Cyclin K Antibody (R-17) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects cyclin K in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Cyclin K is a vital component of the positive transcription elongation factor β (P-TEFβ) complex, which plays a significant role in the regulation of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription elongation. By phosphorylating the carboxyl-terminal domain of the largest RNAPII subunit, cyclin K facilitates the transition from transcription initiation to elongation, thereby ensuring efficient gene expression. This process is crucial for proper cellular function and development, as cyclin K influences the expression of genes necessary for various biological processes. Cyclin K is widely expressed across adult mouse and human tissues, with particularly high levels found in the developing germ cells of the testis and ovaries, highlighting cyclin K′s importance in reproductive biology. The cyclin K gene encodes a 357 amino acid protein located on human chromosome 14q32, and cyclin K′s interactions with other proteins in the P-TEFβ complex, such as cyclin dependent kinase 9 (Cdk9), underscore cyclin K′s essential role in transcriptional regulation. Anti-cyclin K antibody (R-17) is an invaluable tool for researchers studying transcriptional control and its implications in various physiological and pathological contexts.
