WEE1 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit

• Description:

  The WEE1 Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can monitor WEE1 protein expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of WEE1 in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on WEE1.

• Synonyms:

  Wee1-like protein kinase; WEE1hu;2.7.10.2; Wee1A kinase; WEE1

• Gene Name:

  WEE1

• UniProt:

  P30291

• Reactivity:

  Human, Mouse, Rat

• Applications:

  ELISA

• Detection Range:

  > 5000 cells/well

• Function:

  Acts as a negative regulator of entry into mitosis (G2 to M transition) by protecting the nucleus from cytoplasmically activated cyclin B1-complexed CDK1 before the onset of mitosis by mediating phosphorylation of CDK1 on 'Tyr-15'. Specifically phosphorylates and inactivates cyclin B1-complexed CDK1 reaching a maximum during G2 phase and a minimum as cells enter M phase. Phosphorylation of cyclin B1-CDK1 occurs exclusively on 'Tyr-15' and phosphorylation of monomeric CDK1 does not occur. Its activity increases during S and G2 phases and decreases at M phase when it is hyperphosphorylated. A correlated decrease in protein level occurs at M/G1 phase, probably due to its degradation.
