Uses

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

General Description

Cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) belongs to the cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK) family. It is a small protein with a catalytic domain.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) plays an important role in the cell cycle control. It binds to the cyclin D1 to faciliatate the transition of cells through the G1 phase. It also controls activities of estrogen receptor and androgen receptor (AR) by binding to it. It inhibits androgen receptor (AR) and activates transcriptional activity of the estrogen receptor. In human prostate cancer, it stimulates activity of the androgen receptor (AR) which affects the development and/or progression of the cells. Its overexpression has been reported in human breast and colon cancer.
