• Name: Anti-CDKN2A/p14ARF [ARF 4C6/4]
• Research fields: Cancer;Cell biology;Genetics
• Clone: ARF 4C6/4
• Tool sub type: Primary antibody
• Class: Monoclonal
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Molecular weight: 14 kDa
• Strain: Balb/c
• Reactivity: Human
• Host: Mouse
• Application: ELISA ; IHC ; IF ; IP ; WB
• Description: p14ARF is associated with the regulation of p53 and MDM2 and is deleted or methylated in many human cancers. The gene for CDK2NA generates several transcripts/proteins which differ from each other in their first exons. Three of these transcripts are generated by alternative splicing (isoform 1 a.k.a p16INK4A, isoform 2 and isoform 3 a.k.a p12), two of which are known to function as inhibitors of CDK4 kinase. One other transcript that is generated from this gene contains an alternate reading frame (ARF), with the first exon located 20kb upstream of the remainder of the gene(isoform 4 a.k.a. p14ARF, p19ARF, ARF). In spite of the structural and some functional differences, all the proteins encoded by the CDKN2A gene are involved in cell cycle G1 control.
• Immunogen: His-tagged p14ARF protein expressed in bacteria.
• Isotype: IgG2a
• Myeloma used: Sp2/0-Ag14
• Recommended controls: BT549 breast cancer cell line.
