Reactivity Key:
H=Human
Species cross-reactivity is determined by western blot. Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology.
Protocols
- 4656:
- Flow, Western Blotting
Specificity / Sensitivity
Cyclin A2 (BF683) Mouse mAb detects endogenous levels of cyclin A2 and does not cross-react with other cyclins or Cyclin A1.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a recombinant human cyclin A2 protein.
Background
While overcoming the G1/S checkpoint to commence DNA replication requires cyclin E, and traversing the G2/M checkpoint to initiate mitosis requires cyclin B to be present, cyclin A seems to be required for both S-phase and M-phase (1). A number of studies have described the ability of over-expressed cyclin A to accellerate the G1 to S transition causing DNA replication, and cyclin A antisense DNA can prevent DNA replication (2-4). Cyclin A availability is apparently the rate-limiting step for entry into mitosis, and cyclin A is required for completion of prophase (5). At late prophase, cyclin A may no longer be necessary as cdc2/cyclinB1 becomes active (5).
