NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
In response to DNA damage and replication blocks, cell cycle progression is halted through the control of critical cell cycle regulators. The protein encoded by this gene is a cell cycle checkpoint regulator and putative tumor suppressor. It contains a forkhead-associated protein interaction domain essential for activation in response to DNA damage and is rapidly phosphorylated in response to replication blocks and DNA damage. When activated, the encoded protein is known to inhibit CDC25C phosphatase, preventing entry into mitosis, and has been shown to stabilize the tumor suppressor protein p53, leading to cell cycle arrest in G1. In addition, this protein interacts with and phosphorylates BRCA1, allowing BRCA1 to restore survival after DNA damage. Mutations in this gene have been linked with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a highly penetrant familial cancer phenotype usually associated with inherited mutations in TP53. Also, mutations in this gene are thought to confer a predisposition to sarcomas, breast cancer, and brain tumors. This nuclear protein is a member of the CDS1 subfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Uniprot Description
Chk2: a CAMK protein kinase of the Rad53 family. A cell cycle checkpoint regulator and putative tumor suppressor. It contains a forkhead-associated protein interaction domain essential for activation in response to DNA damage and is rapidly phosphorylated in response to replication blocks and DNA damage. Phosphorylates and inhibits CDC25C, preventing entry into mitosis, p53, leading to cell cycle arrest in G1, and BRCA1, restoring survival after DNA damage. Twelve splice variant isoforms have been described for human Chk2. LOF mutants cause Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a highly penetrant familial cancer phenotype also caused by p53 mutations. Familial mutations also associated with prostate and breast cancer, and mutations also seen in a variety of sporadic cancers and cell lines.

Product Notes
The CHEK2 chek2 (Catalog #AAA6411526) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The CHEK2 (Serine/Threonine-protein Kinase Chk2, CDS1, Checkpoint Kinase 2, CHK2, HuCds1, LFS2, PP1425, RAD53) (APC) reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CHEK2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Western Blot (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunoprecipitation (IP). ICC: 1:50-1:200 WB: 1:500-1:2000 IF: 1:50-1:200 IHC: 1:50-1:200 IP: 1:20-1:100 Applications are based on unconjugated antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CHEK2 chek2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CHEK2, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
