Anti-CDK4, clone CDK4/8895

Formulation: Purified Ab WITHOUT BSA and Azide at 1.0mg/ml. Cellular Localization: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Positive Control: cervical carcinoma and liposarcomas., Human urothelial carcinoma. Chromosome Location: 12q14.1. Protein Function: Ser/Thr-kinase component of cyclin D-CDK4 (DC) complexes that phosphorylate and inhibit members of the retinoblastoma (RB) protein family including RB1 and regulate the cell-cycle during G(1)/S transition. Phosphorylation of RB1 allows dissociation of the transcription factor E2F from the RB/E2F complexes and the subsequent transcription of E2F target genes which are responsible for the progression through the G(1) phase. Hypophosphorylates RB1 in early G(1) phase. Cyclin D-CDK4 complexes are major integrators of various mitogenenic and antimitogenic signals. Also phosphorylates SMAD3 in a cell-cycle-dependent manner and represses its transcriptional activity. Component of the ternary complex, cyclin D/CDK4/CDKN1B, required for nuclear translocation and activity of the cyclin D-CDK4 complex [The Uniprot Consortium]
