P21 (Acetyl Lys161/K163) rabbit pAb

Function:May be the important intermediate by which p53 mediates its role as an inhibitor of cellular proliferation in response to DNA damage. Binds to and inhibits cyclin-dependent kinase activity, preventing phosphorylation of critical cyclin-dependent kinase substrates and blocking cell cycle progression., induction:By p53, mezerein (antileukemic compound) and interferon beta., PTM:Phosphorylation of Thr-145 by Akt or of Ser-146 by PKC impairs binding to PCNA., similarity:Belongs to the CDI family., tissue specificity:Expressed in all adult human tissues, with 5-fold lower levels observed in the brain.
