    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    p21 Waf1/Cip1 Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total mouse p21 Waf1/Cip1 protein. This antibody does not recognize endogenous levels of human or rat p21 Waf1/Cip1 protein, but does weakly recognize overexpressed human p21 Waf1/Cip1 protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Mouse

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro122 of mouse p21 Waf1/Cip1 protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    The tumor suppressor protein p21 Waf1/Cip1 acts as an inhibitor of cell cycle progression. It functions in stoichiometric relationships forming heterotrimeric complexes with cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases. In association with CDK2 complexes, it serves to inhibit kinase activity and block progression through G1/S (1). However, p21 may also enhance assembly and activity in complexes of CDK4 or CDK6 and cyclin D (2). The carboxy-terminal region of p21 is sufficient to bind and inhibit PCNA, a subunit of DNA polymerase, and may coordinate DNA replication with cell cycle progression (3). Upon UV damage or during cell cycle stages when cdc2/cyclin B or CDK2/cyclin A are active, p53 is phosphorylated and upregulates p21 transcription via a p53-responsive element (4). Protein levels of p21 are downregulated through ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation (5).
