Chk2 Antibody: The p53 tumor-suppressor gene integrates numerous signals that control cell life and death. Several novel molecules involved in p53 signaling, including Chk2, p53R2, p53AIP1, Noxa, PIDD, and PID/MTA2, were recently discovered. The checkpoint kinase Chk2 is the mammalian homologue of yeast Cds1/Rad53. In response to DNA damage, the checkpoint kinase ATM phosphorylates and activates Chk2, which in turn directly phosphorylates and activates p53. Chk2 serves as ATM downstream effector to mediate activation of p53. Chk2 also phosphorylates and activates BRCA1, the product of a tumor suppressor gene that is mutated in breast and ovarian cancer.

Chk2 antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids near the amino terminus of human Chk2.

Chk2 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.

Chk2 Antibody is supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.

Chk2 antibody can be used for detection of Chk2 by Western blot at 1 g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunocytochemistry starting at 1 g/mL.

Chk2 antibody can be stored at 4 C for three months and -20 C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
