Recognizes a 34 kDa protein (cdk1), identified as p34cdc2 (a catalytic subunit of Maturation Promoting Factor). Its epitope maps near the C-terminus of the protein and its core is thought to be LGTPNNEV (aa220-227 in murine cdc2). It shows no cross reaction with cdk2 p32. It supports the kinase activity. p34cdc2 plays a crucial role during cell division and is most active during mitosis. It is a serine/threonine kinase, which is activated by cyclin, by dephosphorylation of tyrosine residues. p34cdc2 is inactivated by a tyrosine kinase. This MAb reportedly inhibits the activation of p34cdc2 kinase by cyclins. Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF Dyes and other labels. CF Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF405S and CF405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
