Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Leu678 of human PLK4 protein.

Background

At least four distinct polo-like kinases exist in mammalian cells: PLK1, PLK2, PLK3, and PLK4/SAK (1). PLK4/SAK is transcriptionally repressed by p53 and may contribute to p53-mediated apoptosis (2). PLK4 has also been identified as a key regulator of centriole duplication (3-5). PLK4 is typically expressed at low levels and is controlled by autoregulated instability such that treatment with PLK4 inhibitors, such as CFI-400945, leads to an increase in PLK4 expression (6,7). PLK4 is aberrantly expressed in multiple cancers and has emerged as a potential prognostic and therapeutic target (8).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.
