Cyclins were originally discovered as proteins whose accumulation during the interphase and destruction at mitosis played a critical role in the progression through the eukaryotic cell cycle. It was subsequently found that cyclins control the cell cycle by binding to Ser/Thr cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and regulating their activities. Human cyclins have been grouped into 5 types, A through E, based largely upon sequence similarity. Cyclin B is essential for the control of the cell cycle at the G2/M (mitosis) transition. The expression of cyclin B1 is cell-cycle regulated, peaking at the G2/M transition. It interacts with the CDC2 protein kinase to form a serine/threonine kinase holoenzyme complex also known as maturation promoting factor (MPF), and thus the complex regulates the progression of cells through G2 into M phase. It maps to 5q12 region of human chromosome. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
