General Notes
This product (Catalog No. DPABH-26739) is a rabbit-derived polyclonal antibody raised against human CDKAL1, targeting the amino acid region 1–357 of the protein. This antibody exhibits cross-reactivity with Human CDKAL1 from mouse. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. Cell cycle progression is controlled, in part, by a family of cyclin dependent kinases (Cdks) that work to phosphorylate key substrates involved in each phase of cell cycle progression. Cdks are the catalytic subunits of serine/threonine protein kinases, a large family of proteins that act as regulators of the eukaryotic cell cycle. CDKAL1 (Cdk5 regulatory subunit associated protein 1-like 1) is a 579 amino acid single-pass membrane protein that contains one TRAM domain and is similar to Cdk5 regulatory subunit associated proteins (CDK5RAPs). Expressed in pancreas, brain and skeletal muscle, CDKAL1 uses iron as a cofactor and is involved in glucose-stimulated INS secretion. Defects in the gene encoding CDKAL1 impair INS secretion and are associated with the development of type 2 diabetes. Multiple isoforms of CDKAL1 exist due to alternative splicing events.
DPABH-26739 is suitable for use in Western blot (WB) (1:1,000–1:4,000), IHC (1:50–1:500), IF/ICC (1:20–1:200) applications.
DPABH-26739 is supplied as a liquid formulation in PBS with 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, pH 7.3. For long-term storage, keep at −20 °C. For short-term use, store at 2–8 °C. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to maintain antibody integrity and performance.
