The p53 tumor-suppressor gene integrates numerous signals that control cell life and death.
Several novel molecules involved in p53 signaling, including CHK2 (1), p53R2 (2), p53AIP1 (3), Noxa (4), PIDD (5), and PID/MTA2 (6), were recently discovered.
The checkpoint kinase CHK2 is the mammalian homologue of yeast Cds1/Rad53.
In response to DNA damage, the checkpoint kinase ATM phosphorylates and activates CHK2, which in turn directly phosphorylates and activates p53 (7,8).
CHK2 serves as ATM downstream effector to mediate activation of p53.
CHK2 also phosphorylates and activates BRCA1, the product of a tumor suppressor gene that is mutated in breast and ovarian cancer (9).
Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 0.5-1ug/ml; Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positive Control: Jurkat or K562 cell lysate
Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%).
Freeze at -20°C.
Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C.
For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
