Anti-Cyclin D1 (PRAD-1, bcl 1)

Cyclin D1 is a 44kD cell cycle regulatory protein whose expression level and nuclear/cytoplasmic distribution are tightly regulated in synchrony with the cell cycle. Cyclin D1 complexes containing Cdk4 or Cdk6 induce phosphorylation of Rb, a requirement for progression through the G1/S cell cycle transition. Human Cyclin D1 shares 93% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat Cyclin D1. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry and ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry: 10ug/ml, ELISA: 0.5-1ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
