Cyclin A1 重组单克隆抗体, PBS Only 8

CCNA1 belongs to the highly conserved cyclin family, whose members are characterized by a dramatic periodicity in protein abundance through the cell cycle. CCNA1 binds both CDK2 and CDC2 kinases, which give two distinct kinase activities, one appearing in S phase, the other in G2, and thus regulate separate functions in cell cycle. CCNA1 was found to bind to important cell cycle regulators, such as Rb family proteins, transcription factor E2F-1, and the p21 family proteins. In general, the expression of CCNA1 is tissue-specific and high CCNA1 expression is limited to testis; besides, lower levels of CCNA1 expression are also observed in other human cell lines and in healthy brain. Currently, CCNA1 expression has been illustrated to be downregulated in various tumors, including head and neck squamous-cell cancer (HNSCC) and nasopharyngeal carcinoma; and the promoter of the CCNA1 gene is found to be frequently methylated in colon cancer and HNSCC.
