p21 Waf1/Cip1 (DCS60) Mouse mAb #2946

Filter:
  • WB
  • IHC
Western blot analysis of extracts from control HeLa cells (lane 1) or p21 Waf1/Cip1 knockout HeLa cells (lane 2) using p21 Waf1/Cip1 (DCS60) Mouse mAb (upper) or α-Actinin (D6F6) XP® Rabbit mAb #6487 (lower). The absence of signal in the p21 Waf1/Cip1 knockout HeLa cells confirms the specificity of the antibody for p21 Waf1/Cip1.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant human p21 corresponding to the amino-terminal portion of p21.

Background

The tumor suppressor protein p21 Waf1/Cip1 acts as an inhibitor of cell cycle progression. It functions in stoichiometric relationships forming heterotrimeric complexes with cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases. In association with CDK2 complexes, it serves to inhibit kinase activity and block progression through G1/S (1). However, p21 may also enhance assembly and activity in complexes of CDK4 or CDK6 and cyclin D (2). The carboxy-terminal region of p21 is sufficient to bind and inhibit PCNA, a subunit of DNA polymerase, and may coordinate DNA replication with cell cycle progression (3). Upon UV damage or during cell cycle stages when cdc2/cyclin B or CDK2/cyclin A are active, p53 is phosphorylated and upregulates p21 transcription via a p53-responsive element (4). Protein levels of p21 are downregulated through ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation (5).
