MONOCLONAL ANTI-HPLKL (POLO LIKE KINASE

Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti- hPlk1 (Polo Like Kinase 1) (mouse IgG2b isotype) is derived from the 35-206 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (PAI) and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with human full length Plk1. Polo-like kinases (Plks) are a family of serine/threonine kinases. The Plk family is structurally and functionally related to the polo gene in Drosophila. Plk1 localizes during mitosis in centrosomes, kinetochores and in the central spindle._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ human full length Plk1._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Monoclonal Anti-hPlk1 (Polo Like Kinase 1) antibody produced in mouse has been used in:_x000D_ • enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)_x000D_ • immunoblotting_x000D_ • immunoprecipitation_x000D_ • immunocytochemistry_x000D_ • immunofluorescence staining_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ PLK1 is a serine-threonine kinase that is expressed in mitotic cells and cancers. This kinase regulates mitotic entry by modulating cdc2/cyclin B and is also involved in Nlp-mediated nucleation of microtubules ._x000D_ Polo Like Kinase 1 (Plk1) has a role in tumor progression. Plk1 is a target of the DNA damage checkpoint on the basis that its activity is inhibited by DNA damage in G2 and mitosis. Moreover, Plk1 was found to bind to the sequence-specific DNA binding domain of p53. This interaction between p53 and Plk1 inhibits the transcriptional activation and the proapoptotic functions of p53.
