Description
Product Usage Information
Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized): 1:50
Storage
Supplied in PBS (pH 7.2), less than 0.1% sodium azide and 2 mg/ml BSA. Store at 4°C. Do not aliquot the antibodies. Protect from light. Do not freeze.
Protocol
Available protocols: Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized)
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-cdc2 (Tyr15) (10A11) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (PE Conjugate) detects endogenous levels of cdc2 protein only when phosphorylated at Tyr15. Based on sequence similarity, the antibody may cross-react with CDK2 and CDK3.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr15 of human cdc2.
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 Thr14 and Tyr15 (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).
