ANTI-CYCLIN D1/2 ANTIBODY CLONE 5D4

General description

During each cell cycle cyclins undergo periodic accumulation and destruction. As key regulators of the cell cycle the cyclins control important transitions by acting as regulatory subunits of the Cdks. Early in the G1 phase of the cell cycle, cyclin D1 induction is followed by cyclin E induction. This sequential progression is marked early on in G1 by the activation of Cdk4 and in mid to late G1 by the activation of Cdk2 and the hyperphosphorylation of pRB. The final transition into S phase is thought to be dependent on the increased expression and association of cyclin E and Cdk2. Cyclin D2 is also a G1 cyclin required for G1 phase progression and is a strong candidate for a proto oncogene. Cyclin D2 can phosphorylate pRB when associated with cdk 4 and / or cdk 6.
