General description
The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine-protein kinase that acts as a cell cycle checkpoint regulator and a putative tumor suppressor. It contains a C-terminal kinase domain, an N-terminal regulatory region that is rich in TQ and SQ pairs, and a forked head-associated domain (FHA), which is activated by rapid phosphorylation in response to replication blocks and DNA damage.
Specificity
The epitope recognized by the antibody resides within the N-terminal regulatory domain of the Chk2 molecule.
Immunogen
recombinant human Chk2.
Application
Monoclonal Anti-Chk2 antibody produced in mouse is suitable for immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections), microarray, immunoprecipitation and for immunoblotting at a concentration of 1-2 μg/mL using whole extract of cultured 293T cells. It was used for Chk2 immunoprecipitation experiments to study the engagement of the ATR-dependent DNA damage response at the human papillomavirus 18 replication centers during the initial amplification
Biochem/physiol Actions
The protein propagates signals from damaged or unreplicated DNA. It is expressed throughout the cell cycle. Upon activation it phosphorylates and inhibits CDC25C, which leads to increased inhibitory tyrosine phosphorylation of CDK-cyclin complexes, blocking cell cycle progression. It also regulates apoptosis through the phosphorylation of p53, a tumor suppressor protein. The protein regulates DNA repair through phosphorylation of BRCA2. Mutations in this gene have been linked to Li-Fraumeni syndrome, sarcomas, breast cancer, and brain tumors.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

We have previously demonstrated that the human papillomavirus (HPV) genome replicates effectively in U2OS cells after transfection using electroporation. The transient extrachromosomal replication, stable maintenance, and late amplification of the viral genome could be studied for high- and low-risk mucosal

When exposed to ionizing radiation (IR), eukaryotic cells activate checkpoint pathways to delay the progression of the cell cycle. Defects in the IR-induced S-phase checkpoint cause 'radioresistant DNA synthesis', a phenomenon that has been identified in cancer-prone patients suffering from

The DNA damage checkpoint kinase, CHK2, promotes growth arrest or apoptosis through phosphorylating targets such as Cdc25A, Cdc25C, BRCA1, and p53. Both germline and somatic loss-of-function CHEK2 mutations occur in human tumours, the former linked to the Li-Fraumeni syndrome, and
