p15 Antibody Staining Protocol for Immunohistochemistry

 

Description: The normal progression of cells through the cell cycle is under the control of the cyclin-dependent protein kinases Cdk4 and Cdk6, which are subject to inhibition by the mitotic inhibitory protein p16. A member of the p16 family has been designated p15. p15 expression is upregulated approximately 30-fold in TGF b-treated human keratinocytes, suggesting that p15 may act as an effector of TGF b-mediated cell cycle arrest. The gene encoding p15 has been mapped to chromosome 9p21 at a position adjacent to the p16 gene at a site of frequent chromosomal abnormality in human tumors. It has been suggested that p15 may function as an effector of TGF b-mediated cell cycle arrest through inhibition of Cdk4 and Cdk6 kinases.
