Anti-phospho-cdc2 (Tyr15)

Entry of all eukaryotic cells into M-phase of the cell cycle is regulated by activation of cdc2 kinase. Activation of cdc2 is controlled at several steps including cyclin binding and phosphorylation of threonine 161 (1-4). However, the critical regulatory step in activating cdc2 during progression into mitosis appears to be dephosphorylation of tyrosine 15 and threonine 14 (3,5). Phosphorylation at Tyr15 and inhibition of cdc2 is carried out by Wee1 and Myt1 protein kinases, while Tyr15 dephosphorylation and activation of cdc2 is carried out by the cdc25 phosphatase (3,4,6). Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation, and ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:1000 MW: 34kD. incubate membrane with diluted antibody in 5% BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween-20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight., Immunoprecipitation: 1:100, 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, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C.
