Peptide Name: CDK1 (16-22) pY19

Product Use: Services as a blocking peptide for use with the CDK1-pY19 rabbit polyclonal antibody (Cat. No.: AB-PK563) that is also available from Kinexus. This phosphopeptide may also be useful as a substrate for screening the phosphatase activity of protein phosphatases. The peptide sequence is located in the protein kinase catalytic domain just after subdomain I. Y19 phosphorylation is predicted to be inhibitory for phosphotransferase activity.

Scientific Background: CDK1 (CDC2) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the CMGC group and CDK family. It plays an essential role in cell cycle control in eukaryotic cells by regulating the centrosome cycle, mitotic onset, G2-M phase transition, G1 progression, and G1-S phase transition through an association with various interphase cyclin proteins. Phosphorylation events at T14 or Y15 on the protein are inactivating, while phosphorylation at T161 is stimulatory. CDK1 appears to be a tumour requiring protein (TRP). Gain-of-function mutations in the CDK1 gene have been linked to several forms of cancer, indicating an oncogenic role for the CDK1 protein. Cells transformed with the oncogene MYC undergo apoptosis when treated with small-molecule CDK1 inhibitors. Elevated expression of CDK1 has been reported as a diagnostic marker for cancer progression in esophageal adenocarcinoma, potentially reflecting the role of the CDK1 protein in tumourigenesis. CDK1 expression can be used as a prognostic indicator for early breast cancer. For example, breast cancer tumours with high expression of CDK1 are correlated with a significantly lower 5-year patient survival rate (66. 9%) than tumours that have low levels of CDK1 expression (84. 2%).
