Anti-Cdc25B Antibody Picoband® (Dylight488 Conjugate)

Central to the onset of mitosis in all eukaryotic cells is the CDC2 protein kinase, the activity of which is negatively regulated by phosphorylation and positively activated by dephosphorylation. The latter function is carried out by a specific phosphatase, CDC25. At least 3 human CDC25 genes code for the A, B, and C forms of CDC25. CDC25B is mapped to 20p13. P38 kinase has a critical role in the initiation of a G2 delay after ultraviolet radiation. Inhibition of p38 blocks the rapid initiation of this checkpoint in both human and murine cells after ultraviolet radiation. In vitro, p38 binds and phosphorylates CDC25B at serines 309 and 361, and CDC25C at serine-216; phosphorylation of these residues is required for binding to 14-3-3 proteins. In vivo, inhibition of p38 prevents both phosphorylation of CDC25B at serine-309 and 14-3-3 binding after ultraviolet radiation, and mutation of this site is sufficient to inhibit the checkpoint initiation. Regulation of CDC25B phosphorylation by p38 is a critical event for initiating the G2/M checkpoint after ultraviolet radiation.

E.coli-derived human Cdc25B recombinant protein (Position: M119-L248). Human Cdc25B shares 71% and 68.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat Cdc25B, respectively.

Expressed on the plasma membranes of all cell types that are in intimate contact with plasma complement proteins. It is also found on the surfaces of epithelial cells lining extracellular compartments, and variants of the molecule are present in body fluids and in extracellular matrix.

Tyrosine protein phosphatase which functions as a dosage-dependent inducer of mitotic progression. Required for G2/M phases of the cell cycle progression and abscission during cytokinesis in a ECT2-dependent manner. ly dephosphorylates CDK1 and stimulates its kinase activity. The three isoforms seem to have a different level of activity. .
