Cdk2/Cyclin E Protein, active, 10 µg

Research area: APOPTOSIS

Complex of recombinant full length human cdk2 containing a C-terminal His6-tag, and recombinant full-length human cyclin E containing an N-terminal GST-tag. Product Source: Both are expressed by baculovirus in Sf21 insect cells The Cyclin E genes (CCNE1) gene located at 19q12 region in humans is responsible for encoding full-length protein of 410 amino acids.

Protein Target: CDK2/cyclinE

Target Sub-Family: CMGC

The Cyclin E1 protein binds to and activates Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), forming an active complex crucial for the initiation and progression of the S phase. Cyclin E/CDK2 complex primarily regulates cell cycle advancement and DNA replication by phosphorylating specific substrates. Elevated Cyclin E protein levels and heightened CDK2 kinase activity are both individually linked to unfavorable prognosis, decreased survival, and resistance to therapy in cancer patients. Overactivation of the Cyclin E/CDK2 complex directly disrupts DNA replication through multiple mechanisms, resulting in DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and genomic instability. Targeting the oncogenic Cyclin E/CDK2 complex has emerged as a potential therapeutic approach against cancer.
