Spezifität
This antibody recognises cyclin E, a nuclear protein which is the regulatory subunit of cyclin dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2), and controls S phase entry in cells. Cyclin E follows a cyclic pattern of expression during the cell cycle, with highest expression at the G1-S boundary.Although cyclin E has an important physiological role in normal cell division, recent reports suggest this function is redundant, and its key functions occur as cells exit quiescence, and in endoreduplication.Cyclin E is tightly regulated during normal cell cycles, but is often deregulated in carcinomas, lymphoma, and leukaemia.
