Progression of the mammalian cell cycle is regulated by phosphorylation of many key proteins. Several classes of cyclins (A-E) act as
regulatory subunits for cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks). These cyclin-cdk holoenzymes are essential for proper control of cell cycle
progression. They phosphorylate and regulate a variety of substrates whose activity is required for cell cycle transitions. The temporal
expression of cyclins is tightly regulated throughout the cell cycle by synthesis and degradation. Such regulation plays a critical role in
controlling the enzymatic activity of the cdks. Cyclin A, one of the mitotic cyclins, activates Cdk2 near the start of S phase and is necessary for
the initiation of DNA replication. In mammalian somatic cells, Cyclin A is required during S phase and passage through G2. The D and E type
cyclins regulate passage through G1, while Cyclin B is a critical regulator of mitosis. It has been shown in a number of species that mutation
or disruption of normal Cyclin A expression causes cells to arrest at G2. Cyclin A binds both the cdc2 (Cdk1) and Cdk2 kinases and may also
have a role in mitotic dependence on S phase completion.

注意事项:
1.Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2.This antibody has been developed and certified for the bioimaging application. However, a routine bioimaging test is not performed on every lot. Researchers are encouraged to titrate the reagent for optimal performance.
3.Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
