AHP1329 detects murine Mdm2, a nuclear phosphoprotein that controls intracellular levels of the tumour suppressor protein p53 by ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Mdm2 also interacts with the retinoblastoma (RB) protein and E2F-1, to promote G1-S phase transition in the cell cycle.
Mdm2 activity is controlled by self-ubiquitination; however activation of the PI3K/PKB pathway leads to phosphorylation of Mdm2 at Ser185, which stabilises the protein.

Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Western Blotting
AHP1329 detects a band of approximately 90kDa in mouse MEF cell lysates.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to Mdm2 were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography.
