Protocols
- 9112:
- Western Blotting
Specificity / Sensitivity
cdc2 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total cdc2 protein.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr15 of human cdc2 . Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from Saos cells, either untreated or treated with hydroxyurea or nocodazole, using Phospho-cdc2 (Tyr15) Antibody #9111 (upper) or cdc2 Antibody #9112 (lower).
Background
The entry of eukaryotic cells into mitosis is regulated by cdc2 kinase activation, a process controlled at several steps including cyclin binding and phosphorylation of cdc2 at Thr161 (1). However, the critical regulatory step in activating cdc2 during progression into mitosis appears to be dephosphorylation of cdc2 at Tyr15 and Thr14 (2). Phosphorylation at Thr14 and Tyr15 resulting in inhibition of cdc2 can be carried out by Wee1 and Myt1 protein kinases (3,4). The cdc25 phosphatase may be responsible for removal of phosphates at Thr14 and Tyr15 and subsequent activation of cdc2 (1,5).
