Application(s)WB
Antibody HostRabbit
Antibody TypePolyclonal
SpecificityThe specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB against the antigen. Human; rat; predicted to react with mouse due to sequence homology;
Species ReactivityHuman, Mouse (Predicted), Rat
Immunogen DescriptionA synthetic peptide (FSEHRTQVSLKDQIT) corresponding to a region (427-441) from human Checkpoint homolog CHK2. To enhance the immunological response, this peptide was coupled to carrier protein BSA.
ConjugateUnconjugated
Purity DescriptionAffinity purified on antigen column
Application DetailsWestern Blotting (WB). A concentration of 0.75 µg/mL is recommended for WB. Human Checkpoint homolog CHK2 (isoform 1) has a predicted length of 543 residues and MW of 61 kDa. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Scientific BackgroundCheckpoint homolog CHK2 is an important cell cycle checkpoint regulator. The protein is rapidly activated by phosphorylation in response to DNA damage and to replication block. When activated, CHK2 is known to prevent entry into mitosis and has been shown to regulate the tumor suppressor protein p53, leading to cell cycle arrest in G1. At least 12 isoforms are produced by alternative splicing.
