Recombinant human protein was used as the immunogen for the CDC2 antibody.
Recognizes a 34kDa protein, which is identified as cyclin dependent kinase 1 (cdk1) or p34cdc2 protein kinase. Cdc2 plays a crucial role during cell division and is most active during mitosis. It is predominantly localized in the nucleus. It is a serine/threonine kinase, which is activated by cyclin, presumably by de-phosphorylation of tyrosine residues. Activated Cdc2 performs specific functions during mitosis, including nuclear envelope breakdown and chromosome condensation.
