Anti-Cyclin A1 (Cyclin-A1, CCNA1)

Cyclin A1, also known as CCNA1, is a 64kD protein that associates with the kinase Cdk2. This complex phosphorylates multiple substrates involved in regulation of cell cycle progression, apoptosis, double strand DNA break repair, and mRNA splicing. Cyclin A1 activity promotes G2/M phase transition in spermatocyte meiosis and G1/S transition in somatic cells. Cyclin A1 is upregulated in myeloid leukemia, testicular germ cell tumors, and several carcinomas. It contains two cyclin box folds aa243-318 and 340-427. Over aa51-220, human Cyclin A1 shares approximately 75% aa identity with mouse and rat Cyclin A1. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry.
