Anti-phospho-CDK2, (Thr160) (Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2, Cell Division Kinase 2, p33 Protein Kinase)

CDK7, a CDC2/CDK type protein kinase, is the catalytic component of the Cdk-activating kinase (CAK) which acts as a regulator of cell cycle progression. CDK7 complexes with cyclin H and MAT1 to form CAK, and this multi-subunit protein phosphorylates the cyclin-dependent protein kinases CDC2/CDK1, CDK2, CDK4 and CDK6. CAK also associates with the transcription factor IIH (TFIIH) which functions in transcription initiation and DNA repair. TFIIH has been shown to be regulated by CDK8/cyclin C. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
