Cyclin D2 (CCND2) Antibody – Mouse Monoclonal

Cyclins are proteins that regulate cell cycle progression by interacting with cdc2 kinase or related kinases. Human cyclins have been grouped into 5 types, A through E, based largely upon sequence similarity. The D-type cyclins (D1, D2, and D3) are a family of cell cycle regulators involved in the G1/S phase transition of the cell cycle. On binding to cyclin-dependent kinases CDK4 or CDK6 and activation by a CDK-activating kinase complex, the cyclin-CDK complex activates numerous genes involved in DNA synthesis and cell cycle progression. Cyclin D2 a G1 cyclin, is a member of the family of D-type cyclins. Indirect immunofluorescence studies showed that the protein is localized to the nucleus in G0, suggesting a nuclear function for cyclin D2 in quiescent cells. It is found to be associated with the cyclin-dependent kinases, CDK2 and CDK4 and thus mediates the phosphorylation of tumor suppressor protein Rb during growth arrest. Knockout studies of the homologous gene in mouse suggest the essential roles of this gene in ovarian granulosa and germ cell proliferation.

Small volumes of anti-CCND2 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
